A mechanistic approach to tracing anthropometric charts
OBJECTIVES: The Extended Mechanistic Growth Function (EMGF) method (Clementi et al. [1999]: Am J Med Genet 87:317-323) is a possible alternative to the Cole and Green LMS method ([1992] Stat Med 11:1305-1319) to construct cross-sectional anthropometric charts. It differs from the technique used by Kuczmarski et al. ([2002]: Vital Health Stat 11:1-190) to trace the CDC growth charts in that all centiles are simultaneously fitted with a single func…
What Is the Incidence of Cystic Fibrosis in Italy? Data from the National Registry (1988-2001)
The mean incidence of cystic fibrosis (CF) among North Americans of European ancestry is 1 in 2,500. Studies carried out in different geographic areas report incidence values ranging from 1 in 1,800 to 1 in 8,500, suggesting that incidence has to be assessed specifically for any population. This paper represents the first attempt to evaluate the incidence of CF in Italy and its time-related changes following the discovery of the gene in 1989. Dat…
Assessment of skeletal maturity of the hand‐wrist and knee
Assessment of skeletal maturity of the hand-wrist and knee
This study evaluated the influence of height growth and nutritional status on skeletal maturation of the knee and hand-wrist. Radiographs of 589 subjects (250 girls and 339 boys) from 2 to 15 years were rated according to Greulich-Pyle, TW-20 bone and TW-RUS, RWT knee, and FELS hand-wrist methods and a method combining FELS and RWT indicators. The subjects were referred to the Genoa University Paediatric Department from 1980 to 1987 for short sta…
Invited Review
Although microkinetic models are expected to play in the future the same role that macrokinetic models have played in the past, classic mechanistic growth functions are still worthy of study and may still provide insight into auxological problems. The rather rigid shape of macrokinetic models may ignore many interesting fluctuations of growth velocity, but a strong structure allows a robust estimate of growth kinetics even in the case of growth p…
