Background: We aimed to examine whether the timing of adiposity rebound (AR) could be a predictive index of body size in Japanese adolescents.
Methods: The longitudinal individual data of 1438 Japanese children, including 714 boys and 724 girls born between 2001 and 2007, were obtained from child health check-ups conducted at ages 1.5, 2, 3, and 5 years, and then yearly after the age of 6 years.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the varying maxillo-mandibular occlusal relationships in patients with isolated cleft palate (ICP), highlighting significant differences from other cleft types.
- Researchers categorized craniofacial morphology in a group of 36 girls with ICP using cephalometric measurements and statistical analyses, resulting in three distinct morphological clusters.
- The findings reveal characteristic patterns in patients with ICP, including issues like bimaxillary retrusion and severe mandibular retrusion, which differ from the anterior crossbite typically observed in patients with cleft lip and palate.
