As pointed out in Materials and methods, the rationale for having a normal group was not to make direct comparisons with patients but instead to generate normative mass-normalised QF MVC results from which patients could arbitrarily be stratified as "weak" or "not weak".
To investigate normative developmental body mass index (BMI) trajectories and associations of physical growth indicators—height, weight, head circumference (HC), and BMI with nonverbal intelligence in an understudied population of children from sub-Saharan Africa.
Physical measures were within normal limits (mean normative T-values for the body mass index (BMI): PCB: 54.9 ± 3.5; controls: 52.0 ± 5.0; n.s).s
For example, by using Latent Class Growth Mixture Modelling three different life course trajectories have been observed for body mass index (BMI): a "normative" trajectory, a progressively overweight trajectory and a progressively overweight but stabilizing trajectory [ 38].
Norm: population based normative values.
There are not yet standard, population-based normative data on muscle strength and muscle mass.
25 BokSmart includes comparison of individuals with normative data for age groups, including body mass, fitness tests and some basic strength tests.
With this purpose the speculations about the deal in mass media will be supplemented by normative connotative discourse, as appearing in companies' mission statements, philosophy and other policies.
This has important public health implications as it suggests that adaptation following exposure to trauma and loss is the normative response, even in the context of persecution and mass violence.
Body mass index percentiles were calculated according to latest Italian normative values, and patients between the 85th and 97th percentiles or over the 97th percentile were classified as overweight or obese, respectively (Cacciari et al., 2006).
This paper adopts a normative approach to develop a dynamic form of corporate reporting designed to deal with the threat posed by mass extinction of species.
