Prevalence of overweight, obesity and physical activity levels in children from Azores Islands
The results demonstrate the existence of high prevalence of overweight and obesity in children from the Azores Islands, which is associated with low levels of PA
Cross-validation of the Beunen–Malina method to predict adult height
The purpose of this study was to cross-validate the Beunen-Malina method for non-invasive prediction of adult height. Three hundred and eight boys aged 13, 14, 15 and 16 years from the Madeira Growth Study were observed at annual intervals in 1996, 1997 and 1998 and re-measured 7-8 years later. Height, sitting height and the triceps and subscapular skinfolds were measured; skeletal age was assessed using the Tanner-Whitehouse 2 method. Adult heig…
Sports Participation Among Females From Adolescence To Adulthood: A Longitudinal Study
It is widely believed that active participation in sports during youth is an important prerequisite for adult involvement in sports. However, data from reliable longitudinal studies tracking patterns of sports participation from youth into adulthood are scarce. This study addresses the leisure-time sports participation of adult women, 32-41 years of age, from a lifetime sports socialization perspective. Some 20 years after they participated in 19…
An assessment of maturity from anthropometric measurements
Assessment of skeletal maturity and prediction of adult height (TW3 method)
Adolescent physical performance and adult physical activity in Flemish males
Limited information is available about the associations between adolescent fitness levels and adult physical activity. In the present study, these associations are investigated using different indicators of physical activity. It is hypothesized that both health- and performance-related fitness characteristics, observed during the adolescent period, contribute equally to the explained variance in adult physical activity levels. Subjects were 109 F…

Relation between birth weight at term and growth rate, skeletal age, and cortical bone at 6-11 years
There is an apparent link between fetal and childhood growth and puberty and risk for several degenerative diseases in adulthood. It is also important to consider associations between birth weight and indicators of growth and biological maturation during childhood and adolescence as potential explanations for associations between fetal growth and adult risk for disease. The present study examines the association between birth weight and (1) size …
