  • A longitudinal analysis of the growth of limb segments in adolescence

    Open AccessNoël Cameron, J M Tanner et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1982

    The growth of upper and lower-limb segments of 96 adolescent boys and girls from the Royal Hospital School Longitudinal Study was analysed. Preece-Baines Model 1 curves were fitted to the longitudinal data to obtain, for each measurement, age at peak velocity and the magnitude of this velocity. Mean-constant peak velocities were between 1-0 and 2-5 cm/yr in all segments. They were in all cases greater than the values obtained from fitting the P-B…

  • Radiographically determined widths of bone muscle and fat in the upper arm and calf from age 3–18 years

    Open AccessJ M Tanner, P C Hughes et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1981

    In the Harpenden Growth Study arm and calf radiographs were taken on 280 boys and 225 girls twice a year over varying periods. Widths of bone, muscle and fat halfway down the arm and at maximum calf diameter were measured, with widths of bone cortex and medulla where possible. Mean distance and velocity curves are given for chronological age 3-18 years together with curves based on time from peak-height velocity (PHV) and time from peak muscle ve…

  • Clinical longitudinal standards for height, weight, height velocity, weight velocity, and stages of puberty.

    J M Tanner, R H WhitehouseARTICLEArchives of Disease in Childhood1976

    New charts for height, weight, height velocity, and weight velocity are presented for clinical (as opposed to population survey) use. They are based on longitudinal-type growth curves, using the same data as in the British 1965 growth standards. In the velocity standards centiles are given for children who are early- and late-maturing as well as for those who mature at the average age (thus extending the use of the previous charts). Limits of nor…

  • The adolescent growth spurt of boys and girls of the Harpenden Growth Study

    Open AccessJ M Tanner, R H Whitehouse et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1976

    Logistic curves have been fitted to the growth during puberty of the 55 boys and 35 girls of the Harpenden Growth Study who were measured every three months during puberty and thereafter until growth ceased. Very good fits were obtained for stature, sitting height, subischial leg length, biacromial and bi-iliac diameters from approximately six months after the beginning of the adolescent spurt. This beginning, called "take-off", was determined gr…

  • Diurnal variation in stature and sitting height in 12–14-year-old boys

    Open AccessR H Whitehouse, J M Tanner et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1974

    1. Measurements of stature and sitting height were made at 0930 and 1400 h on 19 boys aged 12-14 years with the "stretching upward" technique. 11 different boys were similarly measured at 1000 and 1700 h. 2. The average decrease in stature from 0930 to 1400 h was 2.0 mm and from 1000 to 1700 h was 4.6 mm. The corresponding values for sitting height were 2.0 mm and 2.8 mm. 3. No strong evidence for individual differences in diurnal change was foun…

  • Normal variability in the age and first onset of ossification of the triquetral

    Open AccessFrancis E Johnston, R H Whitehouse et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1968Citada por: 1Referências: 5

    The age and order of ossification of the triquetral, among the bones of the hand and wrist, were determined from serial radiographs of 108 males and 103 females of the Oxford Child Health Survey. Although the median ages of ossification agreed reasonably well with the mean ages reported by other authors, the distributions suggested that the former is the more appropriate statistic. The distributions of order of ossification were distinctly bimoda…

  • Standards from birth to maturity for height, weight, height velocity, and weight velocity

    These charts can be obtained from Creaseys Ltd., Bull Lane, Hertford. Two sizes are obtainable, the smaller designed to fit in hospital note

  • Standards from birth to maturity for height, weight, height velocity, and weight velocity

    J M Tanner, R H Whitehouse et al.ARTICLEArchives of Disease in Childhood1966

    Standards: Chronological Age-based and Individual Type We now consider how to construct velocity standards, to answer our second question 'Has this child's rate of growth been within normal limits ?' We are again confronted with the alternatives of plotting against chronological or developmental age at adolescence and we have adopted the same solution as before. First we give, in the conven- tional manner, centiles plotted against chrono- logical…
