Trans-ancestral genome-wide association study of longitudinal pubertal height growth and shared heritability with adult health outcomes by Bradfield, JP, Kember, RL, Ulrich, A, Balkhiyarova, Z, Alyass, A, Aris, IM, Bell, JA, Broadaway, KA, Chen, Z, Chai, J, Davies, NM, Fernandez-Orth, D, Bustamante, M, Fore, R, Ganguli, A, Heiskala, A, Hottenga, J, Íñiguez, C, Kobes, S, Leinonen, J, Lowry, E, Lyytikainen, L, Mahajan, A, Pitkänen, N, McCarthy, MI

“…Here, we modeled longitudinal height growth with Super-Imposition by Translation And Rotation (SITAR) growth curve analysis on ~ 56,000 trans-ancestry samples with repeated height measurements from age 5 years to adulthood. …”

Pubertal timing and bone phenotype in early old age: findings from a British birth cohort study. by Kuh, D, Muthuri, S, Moore, A, Cole, T, Adams, J, Cooper, C, Hardy, R, Ward, K

“…A second set of models investigated the percentage difference in bone outcomes for a 5-year difference in timing of peak height velocity (height tempo) derived from longitudinal growth modelling (Superimposition by Translation and Rotation model; SITAR).</p> <h4>Results</h4> <p>After adjustment for current height and weight, a 5-year increase in age at menarche was associated with an 8% [95% confidence interval (CI) -17%, 0.5%,P¼0.07) lower trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD); men who were pre-adolescent at 14.5 years had a 9%, (95% CI -14%, -4%;P¼0.001) lower trabecular vBMD compared with those who had been fully mature. …”
