Modified Maturity Offset Prediction Equations: Validation in Independent Longitudinal Samples of Boys and Girls

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

The new equations are useful for average maturing boys close to the time of peak height velocity; there does not appear to be a clear window for average maturing girls. The new and original equations have major limitations with early and late maturing boys and girls.
