Linearized Growth Curve,Proper Age and Age at Menarche |
|
| Authors: | M Masuyama |
| Abstract: | A mathematical model of the linearized growth curve and its physiological interpretation by the introduction of proper age, which is proportional to the chronological age, are presented here. In the second phase, but not in the first phase, this constant of proportionality is highly correlated with the age at menarche. |
