New charts for height, weight, height velocity, and weight velocity are presented for clinical (as opposed to population survey) use. They are based on longitudinal-type growth curves, using the same data as in the British 1965 growth standards. In the velocity standards centiles are given for children who are early- and late-maturing as well as for those who mature at the average age (thus extending the use of the previous charts). Limits of normality for the age of occurrence of the adolescent growth spurt are given and also for the successive stages of penis, testes, and pubic hair development in boys, and for stages of breast and pubic hair development in girls.read more

The timing of normal puberty and the age limits of sexual precocity: variations around the world, secular trends, and changes after migration

TL;DR: These observations urge further study of the onset of puberty as a possible sensitive and early marker of the interactions between environmental conditions and genetic susceptibility that can influence physiological and pathological processes.

Cross sectional stature and weight reference curves for the UK, 1990.
TL;DR: Using current data from seven sources new reference curves have been estimated from birth to 20 years for children in 1990 and it is proposed that the curves presented here should be adopted as the new UK reference curves.

TL;DR: Longitudinally-based height and height velocity charts for North American children are presented, suitable for following an individual child's progress during observation or treatment throughout the growth period, including puberty.

Variations in the Pattern of Pubertal Changes in Boys
W. A. Marshall,James M. Tanner +1 more
TL;DR: Mixed longitudinal data on the physical changes at puberty in 228 normal boys are presented together with normal standards for stages of genital and pubic hair development, finding that boys' genitalia begin to develop only about 6 months later than the girls' breasts and Pubic hair appears about 1½ years later in boys than in girls.
