- The study compares skeletal age assessments using the Tanner-Whitehouse methods (TW2 and TW3) in 1,831 male youth soccer players aged 11-17 from eight countries to understand their biological maturity.
- Results showed that TW3 skeletal ages were consistently lower than TW2 by about 0.97 to 1.16 years, impacting how players are categorized by maturity status.
- The findings suggest that nearly half of players classified as average maturity with TW2 were reclassified as late maturity with TW3, raising concerns about the implications for talent development programs in sports.
Objectives: The Extended Mechanistic Growth Function (EMGF) method (Clementi et al. [1999]: Am J Med Genet 87:317-323) is a possible alternative to the Cole and Green LMS method ([1992] Stat Med 11:1305-1319) to construct cross-sectional anthropometric charts. It differs from the technique used by Kuczmarski et al.

Background And Objective: This was a nationwide prospective study carried out in Italy between 2005 and 2007, involving 34 centers with a neonatal intensive care unit. The study reports the Italian Neonatal Study charts for weight, length, and head circumference of singletons born between 23 and 42 gestational weeks, comparing them with previous Italian data and with the most recent data from European countries.
Patients And Methods: Single live born babies with ultrasound assessment of gestational age within the first trimester, and with both parents of Italian origin.
