Evaluation and prediction of individual growth trajectories
CONCLUSION: Longitudinal references capture the dynamic nature of child growth. The adaptive growth chart for individual monitoring works with exact ages, corrects for regression to the mean, has a known distribution at any pair of ages and is fast. We recommend the method for evaluating and predicting individual child growth.PMID:37394524 | DOI:10.1080/03014460.2023.2190619 (Source: Annals of Human Biology)

Age at menarche and chemical exposure: per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT), dichloro-diphenyl-dichloroethylene (DDE), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
CONCLUSION: The absence of consistent evidence from multiple reports of earlier age at menarche suggests that these toxicants may not be responsible for accelerated sexual maturation in girls. However, human populations naturally vary in the variety and levels of exposure, making the comparison of studies difficult. Further, studies vary in methodology, complicating aggregation of results and generalisations.PMID:37357949 | DOI:10.1080/03014460.2023.2221039 (Source: Annals of Human Biology)

Deep phenotyping of pubertal development in Norwegian children: the Bergen Growth Study 2
CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound-based assessments of puberty provided novel references for breast developmental stages and enabled the measurement of testicular volume on a continuous scale. Endocrine z-scores allowed for an intuitive interpretation of changing hormonal levels during puberty on a quantitative scale, which, in turn, provides opportunities for further analysis of pubertal development using machine-learning approaches.PMID:37358552 | DOI:10.1080/03014460.2023.2174272 (Source: Annals of Human Biology)
