Association between bone age maturity and childhood adiposity.

Background: Evidence shows that overweight and obesity are associated with advanced bone age (BA).

Objective: To analyse the effect of adiposity on BA among Mexican children.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 902 children (5-18 years old).

Evaluation of height prediction models: from traditional methods to artificial intelligence.

Background: Traditional methods for predicting adult height (AHP) rely on manual readings of bone age (BA). However, the incorporation of artificial intelligence has recently improved the accuracy of BA readings and their incorporation into AHP models.

Methods: This study aimed to identify the AHP model that fits the current average height for adults in Mexico.
