Pediatr Endocrinol Rev. 2018 Apr;15(4):319-329 Authors: Kozie S, Scheffler C, Tutkuviene J, Jakimaviciene EM, Mumm R, Barbieri D, Godina E, El-Shabrawi M, Elhusseini M, Musalek M, Pruszkowska-Przybylska P, El Dash HH, Safar HH, Lehmann A, Swanson J, Bogin B, Liu YC, Groth D, Kirchengast S, Siniarska A, Nieczuja-Dwojacka J, Králík M, Satake T, Hanć T, Roelants M, Hermanussen M Abstract Twenty-two scientists met at Krobielowice, Poland, to discuss the impact of the social environment, spatial proximity, migration, poverty, but also psychological factors such as body perception and satisfaction, and social stressors such as elite sports, and teenage pregnancies, on child and adolescent growth. The data analysis included linear mixed effects models with different random effects, Monte Carlo analyses, and network simulations. The work stressed the importance of the peer group, but also included historic material, some considerations about body proportions, and growth in chronic liver, and congenital heart disease.
