  • Title: Height growth of adolescent German boys and girls.
    Author: Wember T, Goddemeier T, Manz F.
    Journal: Ann Hum Biol; 1992; 19(4):361-9. PubMed ID: 1616291.
    Abstract:
    Longitudinal annual height measurements of 46 boys and 47 girls from Dortmund, Germany, are used to derive 10 parameters concerning the adolescent growth spurt of height. Out of three mathematical models applied to our height data, model 1 of Preece and Baines (1978) proved most suitable. Data of mean heights at age 9 and 10 of the boys and girls of this study do not differ from those of another representative cross-sectional study of our institute. The values of the 10 parameters agree with the data of studies from other countries. This work contributes original German data to the international data on adolescent growth spurt of height.
