Estimation of maximum increment age in height and weight during adolescence and the effect of World War II

Article Abstract:

The growth rates in height and weight among Japanese boys and girls are examined, focusing on maximum increment age and changes occurring between 1893 and 1990. Particular attention is paid to increasing growth rates evident in the years after World War II.

Secular changes in relative leg length in post-war Japan

Article Abstract:

Growth patterns in Japanese boys and girls between 1943 and 1978 are examined, focusing on measurements in leg growth. Results indicate an accelerated growth rate for those born between 1943 and 1963 and a subsequent slowing in growth rate.

Secular trends for takeoff and maximum adolescent growth for eight decades of Japanese cohort data

Article Abstract:

Research is presented on the onset of growth spurt among adolescent Japanese based on data accumulated since 1915. Timing of maximum growth has decreased for both sexes, with the onset for growth spurts among boys decreasing and for girls remaining mostly constant, occurring generally between 6 and 8 years of age.
