“…In keeping with previous investigations 26,27 we found that the associations between childhood and adult BMI were relatively weak. Casey et al reported a correlation of 0.41 between BMI in childhood and at age 50 years.…”

“…The findings that early menstruating girls were taller and heavier than non-menstruating girls already at 6 years of age are consistent with Miller et al (1972) who found that girls attaining menarche early were already taller and heavier at age 9. Stark et al (1989) also found that girls with early menarche tended to be overweight at 7,11, and 16 years in contrast to those with late menarche.…”

To analyze the effect of birth weight on weight, stature, and the Body Mass Index (BMI) at the ages of 6 and 14 years, 1,115 Jerusalem schoolchildren were studied. Correlations were low, but higher between birth and 6 years (range 0.10-0.31) than between birth and 14 years (range 0.04-0.20). The positive predictive values for the highest quartile of BMI at 6 and 14 years were 29.6 and 29.4% among boys, 31.4 and 33.0% among girls. They were highest for menstruating girls, 35.6 and 40.0%, respectively. These girls were already heavier at age 6 than other girls and bodys. Aanalysis of covariance showed that birth weight was consistently associated with weight, stature, and the BMI, while mother's origin, education and age, and the number of children in the family were not. Overall, the explained variance was low and decreased with age in both sexes. It was higher for stature than for weight, and was specially low for the BMI. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

“…The boys in this study were a little lighter throughout at comparable ages up to 16, presumably due to changes of puberty being later, and were on average 2 kg lighter at age 15. Ultimately, however, weight gain was greater and by 18 they were about 2 kg heavier on average than those of Tanner's standards.…”

SUMMARY A longitudinal study through puberty of the height and weight of 96 boys and 102 girls in schools in and around the city of Leeds was conducted. Data for height and weight and height and weight velocities are presented, which are based on chronological age and on age relative to the age of peak height velocity. Comparison was made with the Tanner standards: male puberty developed a little later but growth continued longer, so that the adult men were taller and heavier. Girls showed a similar timing of puberty to the Tanner standards but were lighter at all ages and ultimately slightly taller as growth was not completed until later. It is important to know the pubertal state when interpreting growth changes in children.
