Optimal design for longitudinal studies to estimate pubertal height growth in individuals

Background: The SITAR model expresses individual pubertal height growth in terms of mean size, peak height velocity (PHV) and age at PHV. Aim: To use SITAR to identify the optimal time interval between measurements to summarise individual pubertal height growth. Subjects and methods: Heights in 3172...
