Journal ArticleDOI
An assessment of maturity from anthropometric measurements.
TL;DR: Although the cross-validation meets statistical standards for acceptance, caution is warranted with regard to implementation and it is recommended that maturity offset be considered as a categorical rather than a continuous assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
A six-year longitudinal study of the relationship of physical activity to bone mineral accrual in growing children: the university of Saskatchewan bone mineral accrual study.
TL;DR: Two‐way analysis of covariance demonstrated significant physical activity and gender main effects (but no interaction) for PBMCV, for BMC accrued for 2 years around peak velocity, and for BMC at 1 year post‐PBMCV for the TB and femoral neck and for physical activity but not gender at the LS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone mineral accrual from 8 to 30 years of age: an estimation of peak bone mass.
Adam D.G. Baxter-Jones,Robert A. Faulkner,Mark R. Forwood,Robert L. Mirwald,Donald A. Bailey,Donald A. Bailey +5 more
TL;DR: Strong evidence is provided that BA plateaus 1 to 2 years earlier than BMC, substantiate the importance of the circumpubertal years for accruing bone mineral, and provides strong evidence that peak bone mass occurs by the end of the second or early in the third decade of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium accretion in girls and boys during puberty: a longitudinal analysis.
TL;DR: It is estimated that 26% of adult calcium is laid down during the 2 adolescent years of peak skeletal growth, which requires high accretion rates of calcium, achieved in part by increased retention efficiency of dietary calcium.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 'muscle-bone unit' during the pubertal growth spurt
Frank Rauch,Donald A. Bailey,Donald A. Bailey,Adam D.G. Baxter-Jones,Robert L. Mirwald,Robert A. Faulkner +5 more
TL;DR: Results are compatible with the view that bone development is driven by muscle development, although the data do not exclude the hypothesis that the two processes are independently determined by genetic mechanisms.
