Growth of postmenarcheal girls from three ethnic groups
Documentation of normal growth in late adolescence has been limited to a few studies using largely white participants. Annual growth rates of 668 high school girls who had already achieved menarche were determined for stature, sitting height, and knee height measured using the Knee Height Measuring Device (KHMD), an instrument with superior reliability. The sample was 61.4% white, 16.8% Puerto Rican, 15.7% African American, and 6.1% girls of othe…
Clinical use of the knee height measuring device to detect growth deficiency
Assessment of growth deficiency cannot usually be carried out until after 6 months of observation because errors associated with height measurement preclude use of shorter periods. In an effort to shorten this time period, the Knee Height Measuring Device (KHMD), a highly precise and reliable instrument and method for measuring child growth, was compared with height in detecting and clasifying growth in a group of healthy school children, and in …
Longitudinal principal components analysis of patterns and predictors of growth in Guatemalan children
Longitudinal principal components (LPC) analysis was used to assess growth patterns in children from rural Guatemala in order to determine if this methodology could provide additional information regarding correlates of growth compared to more traditionally used methods based on attained size and increments. LPC analysis reduces measures at many points in time into a few parameters. However, LPC analysis requires complete data, and many cases may…
Measurement of short‐term growth with a new knee height measuring device
Information on short‐term growth (growth over periods of 1 month or less) has potential use in the clinic for treatment of children with growth disorders, and knowledge about patterns of short‐term growth may also contribute to an understanding of growth control mechanisms. Limitations of measurement reliability for most measurements of linear growth have generally confined us to evaluation of growth over periods 3 month or longer. This report in…
Relationship of disease characteristics and nutritional status to patterns of growth in children with Crohn disease
Crohn disease is one type of inflammatory bowel disease with frequent occurrence before maturity. Many children with Crohn disease experience linear growth retardation. However, the prevalence and contribution of various factors to growth failure have not been adequately investigated. The purpose of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of growth deficiency by using multiple criteria based on longitudinal data and to simulatneously eva…
Introductory remarks: Influence of nutritional status on growth–perspectives from field and clinic
Fat distribution in children with cerebral palsy
Triceps and subscapular skinfolds were measured on 95 North American children with cerebral palsy. Triceps fat was far more depleted than subscapular fat in comparison with population standards for sex, age and race. This truncal distribution of fat may be related to the high prevalence of under nutrition found in the sample
Fetal growth as measured by ultrasound
Until the last decade, investigation of fetal growth has been based on data from premature births and abortuses. Advances in ultrasound scanning have expanded the precision and uses of this technology in studies of fetal growth. Most ultrasound studies of fetal growth are based on clinical populations and are reported in clinical journals. The present paper reviews features of ultrasound technology relating to fetal measurement. The most commonly…
Longitudinal trends in subcutaneous fat thickness during adolescence
Longitudinal principal components (LPC) analysis is used to summarize adolescent trends in subcutaneous fat thickness at three sites (biceps, suprailiac, and abdominal). For each site, component 1 (C1) represents fatness level, and component 2 (C2) represents an increase followed by a decrease (fat wave) in fatness. Components 3–5 (retained for girls only) represent more complicated patterns of change (multiple increases and decreases). Correlati…
