The contribution of adolescent growth to shorter adult stature among girls of Chinese ancestry

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to investigate the relative importance of adolescent growth to population differences in adult stature. Researchers compared 303 Chinese females with 23 British and 69 Euro-American females. The results revealed that 96% of the difference in adult statures between the British and urban Chinese could be attributed to the greater amount of time available to the British for preadolescent growth.

Focused life history data and linear enamel hypoplasia to help explain intergenerational variation in relative leg length within Taiwanese families

Article Abstract:

The relative leg length within Taiwanese families varies with intergenerational increase in the stature due to increase in the subischial leg length. The focused life history data and linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) prove that intergenerational variations are positively associated with midparent-offspring differences in relative leg length.

Can socioeconomic factors account for "atypical" correlations between timing, peak velocity, and intensity of adolescent growth in Taiwanese girls?

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that rapid changes in socioeconomic status have significant impact on the intensity and timing of physical development in Taiwanese teenage girls. Results were obtained from one rural and two urban regions, with subjects in stable environments exhibiting the fewest atypical correlations.
