skeletal age

Skeletal age, as determined by the Risser sign, is also used to determine the risk that the curve will get worse.

Its skeletal age was consistent with a gestational age of thirty-two weeks."

Age, skeletal age, and status of puberty.

Estimate a child's skeletal age and projected growth using an X-ray image of the wrist (hand-wrist radiograph).

Growth and development are appropriate for an individual's biologic age (skeletal age) rather than for their chronologic age.

Delays in growth and sexual development are quantified by skeletal age, which is determined from bone age radiographic studies of the left hand and wrist.

The symptoms include decreased growth hormone (GH) secretion, very short stature, weight that is inappropriate for the height, and immature skeletal age.

By using modern samples of known age from the United States, Switzerland, and Portugal, he has helped refine skeletal age estimation techniques.

Currently, he is working on methods to improve skeletal age estimation to refine paleodemographic estimates; one outcome of this work is that people in the past lived longer than is commonly thought.

The risk of progression is based on age at diagnosis, the size of the curve (as measured using X-rays of the spine), and skeletal age (which can be determined by the Risser sign).

Skeletal age, which is estimated from radiographic studies of the left hand and wrist, is usually delayed (typically 2-4 y by late childhood) and is most consistent with the child's height age (age for which a child's height is at the 50th percentile) rather than the child's chronologic age.
