This pattern of faster early childhood gains in height followed by subsequent slower height growth and unchanged adult height indicates that obesity risk alleles may confer a more rapid tempo of growth rather than altered long-term height potential.
More data are needed on the long-term height and safety outcomes of treatment with GH in this population, and in particular on the impact of GH treatment on the characteristic skeletal abnormalities and orthopedic outcomes.
Models were fitted within age and sex strata, and controlled for baseline weight (or baseline weight by weight trajectory interaction terms), height, and smoking habit, with random intercepts to control for community-level correlations.
For simplicity, we use the terms height, height-for-age difference (HAD), and height-for-age z-score (HAZ) irrespective of the child's age throughout this paper despite that supine length, rather than standing height, is usually measured in children less than 2 years of age and that the terms "length" and "length-for-age" are typically used for these children.
"In terms of weight, in terms of height, in terms of health, the population is really in rough condition".
An interaction term for height class × treatment was added to Model (5) to test whether the effect of stem bending on Type 1 resin pocket formation varied with height in the treatment year (2007 2008).
However, the terms for height and distance from pith and the quadratic height term did not differ significantly between clones.
Adjusted models included terms for height (continuous), body mass index (BMI, continuous), age at menarche (continuous), number of term pregnancies (continuous), smoking (never, former, or current), and history of breast cancer in a first-degree relative (yes or no).
That personal quality she terms "the height of chutzpah"?
"Much of the recent development is not appropriate in terms of height, bulk and scale".
I brought Chris Smalling on, which was an improvement in terms of height".
