چکیده
Zorab, P. A., Clark, S., Harrison, A., and Seel, J. R. (1970). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 45, 763. Hydroxyproline excretion and height velocity in adolescent boys. The height velocity of 122 boys of 11 to 17 years is compared with their urinary total hydroxyproline excretion and a close relation is shown. The importance of this is discussed in relation to undersized children and to those with scoliosis in whom rapid growth is often associated with increasing curvature of the spine. Poor correlation was found between urinary total hydroxyproline excretion and height, weight, body surface area, and creatinine excretion.

The relationship of height and weight velocities of adolescent boys to the total hydroxyproline: creatinine ratio in their random urines.
1. The total hydroxyproline: creatinine ratios in random urines collected every 3 months for 1 year from twenty-six adolescent boys (11-14 years) have been compared with the observed height and weight velocities of the boys during that year. 2. There were significant correlations of both height and weight velocities over 6 and 12 month periods with the ratios in the random urines collected duri...
متن کاملAnalysis of the adolescent growth spurt using smoothing spline functions.
Height growth velocity curves between 4.5 and 17.75 years were estimated, using smoothing spline functions, for 112 boys and 110 girls from the Zurich Longitudinal Study (1955--1976). Parameters characterizing the growth process, such as peak height velocity and age at peak height velocity, were calculated directly from the estimated curves. The variability of parameters describing the adolesce...
متن کاملPubertal Gynecomastia Coincides with Peak Height Velocity
OBJECTIVE Pubertal gynecomastia (PG) occurs in up to 65% of adolescent boys. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the ages at which PG and peak height velocity occur in pubertal boys. METHODS This was a prospective study that was designed to detect PG within three months of its emergence. We examined one hundred and six boys who were followed for short stature and/or delaye...
متن کاملTestosterone Therapy Improves the First Year Height Velocity in Adolescent Boys with Constitutional Delay of Growth and Puberty
BACKGROUND Constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP) can cause significant psychological distress in adolescent boys. Although testosterone usage in this group has not been shown to affect the final adult height, the effect on the first year height velocity has not been widely reported. OBJECTIVES The aim is to determine whether testosterone treatment improves the first year height ve...
متن کاملAdolescent growth and its relation to menarche, dental and somatic maturation
Relationships between growth in height during adolescence and menarche, somatic, and dental maturation were analyzed on longitudinal data for 181 boys and 176 girls from the Poznań Growth Study. It was found that the correlation pattern between variables shifts during the spurt indicating the following regularities: The younger and smaller the boys and girls were at the onset of the spurt, and ...
