本研究的目的是探讨肥胖与骨骼成熟度、相对骨骼成熟度和预测成年身高百分比之间的关系。对6 029名6至16岁的弗拉芒女孩进行了代表性抽样调查。计算肥胖和生物成熟指标之间的年龄特异性相关性，并将每个年龄组中最胖的5%与最瘦的5%进行比较。根据5个皮褶（二头肌、三头肌、肩胛下、髂上和小腿内侧）的总和估计肥胖。根据Tanner-Whitehouse技术评估骨龄。相对骨龄计算为骨龄和实际年龄之间的差异，预测成年身高的百分比根据Tanner-Whitehouse Mark II回归技术计算。肥胖和成熟指标之间的相关性是积极的，但在r = 0.00和r = 0.39之间变化。当统计学控制身高时，相关性略有降低。5%最胖的女孩在骨骼成熟方面同样提前（0.2至1.2岁），而5%最瘦的女孩在骨骼成熟方面延迟（0.0至0.9岁）。获得的身高与成熟度数据一致，表明胖女孩和瘦女孩之间的尺寸差异主要是由于成熟度差异。结论是，在儿童和青少年时期，肥胖与先进和精益与延迟的生物成熟状态。这种关联似乎具有长期影响，值得进一步研究。
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between adiposity and skeletal maturity, relative skeletal maturity and percentage of predicted adult stature. A representative sample of 6,029 Flemish girls aged 6-16 years of age was investigated. Age specific correlations between adiposity and biological maturity indicators were calculated and in each age group the fattest 5% were compared with the leanest 5%. Adiposity was estimated from the sum of five skinfolds (biceps, triceps, subscapular, suprailiac and medial calf). Skeletal age was assessed according to the Tanner-Whitehouse technique. Relative skeletal age was calculated as the difference between skeletal age and chronological age and percentage of predicted adult stature was calculated according to the Tanner-Whitehouse Mark II regression technique. Correlations between adiposity and maturity indicators are positive, but vary between r = 0.00 and r = 0.39. When stature is statistically controlled, correlations are reduced slightly. The 5% fattest girls are equally advanced (0.2 to 1.2 years) as the 5% leanest girls are delayed (0.0 to 0.9 years) in skeletal maturation. Attained statures are consistent with the maturity data and indicate that size differences between fat and lean girls are primarily due to maturity differences. It was concluded that during childhood and adolescence, fatness is associated with advanced and leanness with delayed biological maturity status. This association seems to have long term effects that merit further study.
