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

Year: 2015

Type: article

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.
