Relationship Between Timing of Peak Height Velocity and Pubertal Staging in Boys and Girls.

Relationship Between Timing of Peak Height Velocity and Pubertal Staging in Boys and Girls. J Clin Res Pediatr Endocrinol. 2015 Sep 5;7(3):235-7 Authors: Granados A, Gebremariam A, Lee JM Abstract Growth and pubertal development are important health markers. We used the data of a longitudinal growth study on a contemporary sample of US youth to examine the relationship between peak height velocity (PHV) and Tanner staging. We observed a substantial variability in the timing of PHV across Tanner stages, which is an important consideration for clinicians when assessing growth. PMID: 26831559 [PubMed - in process]
