Associations of anthropometry since birth with sagittal posture at age 7 in a p...
Araújo, F; Lucas, R; Simpkin, AJ; Heron, J; Alegrete, N; Tilling, K; Howe, LD; Barros, HObjectives Adult sagittal posture is established during childhood and adolescence. A flattened or hypercurved spine is associated with poorer musculoskeletal health in adulthood. Although anthropometry from birth onwards is expected to be a key influence on sagittal posture design, this has never been assessed during childhood. Our aim was to estimate the association between body size throughout childhood with ...
Linear spline multilevel models for summarising childhood growth trajectories: ...
Howe, LD; Tilling, K; Matijasevich, A; Petherick, ES; Santos, AC; Fairley, L; Wright, J; Santos, IS; Barros, AJD; Martin, RM; Kramer, MS; Bogdanovich, NChildhood growth is of interest in medical research concerned with determinants and consequences of variation from healthy growth and development. Linear spline multilevel modelling is a useful approach for deriving individual summary measures of growth, which overcomes several data issues (co-linearity of repeat measures, the requirement for all individuals to be measured at the same ages and bias due to missi...
