Longitudinal study of pubertal peak height velocity and related morphological and functional components in Brazilian children
… in girls (9.15 cm/year). PHV occurred before menarche (mean age = 12.67 years) in all girls. A significant correlation (p $<$.01) between age of PHV and age of menarche (r =.91) was also found. Polynomial regression demonstrated only linear, and linear and quadratic relationships between all …
