The distribution of body fat from childhood to adulthood in a longitudinal study population
Body fat distribution, its continuity from childhood (4–6 years) to 30 years of age, and its link to that of parents is described in a longitudinal study population. A computer-assisted image analysis technique was used to measure body fat distribution (as measured by waist and hip diameters) from somatotype photographs. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to assess the association between the waist/hip diameter ratio (WHDR) and the body m…
Accuracy of recall by middle-aged participants in a longitudinal study of their body size and indices of maturation earlier in life
The validity of long-term recall and current assessments of height, weight, and fatness relative to peers was investigated among 91 middle-aged participants in a longitudinal growth study. The recollections of 50-year-old participants concerning perceived body size in comparison to peers during childhood (aged 5-7 years), adolescence (aged 10-18 years), and at ages 30, and 40 years were compared with physical measurements taken at these times. Co…
Longitudinal analysis of incomplete adolescent data
An approach is illustrated for the analysis of longitudinal variables collected during adolescence. Since the method requires complete data, three techniques are compared for application when some individuals have missing values. These methods are implemented in a study of systolic blood pressures and dietary fat intakes collected longitudinally in adolescent girls. The value of adolescent systolic and fat variables in predicting systolic pressur…
Accuracy of recalled smoking data
Validity of recalled cigarette data was assessed among 87 middle-aged adults by comparing recall to longitudinal records. Agreement on smoking status and amount smoked 20 years ago occurred for 87 per cent and 71 per cent of subjects, respectively. Corresponding proportions for 32-year recall were 84 per cent and 55 per cent. Gender did not influence recall accuracy. Ex-smokers tended to make the most errors. Accuracy of recalled smoking informat…
Longitudinal growth standards for preschool children
The appropriateness of a preschool child's size at a particular age is usually assessed by comparing the child's measurement against growth charts. When the child has measurements at more than one age, the child's percentile status at one age is sometimes compared with the percentile status at a subsequent age, with the purpose of assessing the child's pattern over time or growth rate. This second use of growth charts is not entirely appropriate,…
Midgrowth spurt in height of Boston children
A mid-childhood growth spurt in height was found in 17 of 67 boys and in 0 of 67 girls followed from age two years to adulthood. The growth spurt was detected analytically from variable knot cubic splines which were fitted to the longitudinal height data of each child
Changes over thirty years in an index of gynaecological health
The gynaecological index (GYNDEX) was developed to facilitate observing differences in gynaecological health among and between groups of women. It takes into account menstrual characteristics, premenstrual changes, and gynaecological diagnoses and treatments. The objective of this study is to contribute to knowledge of the changes in gynaecological health at different times in the reproductive life cycles of women and to develop a measurement tec…
