Abstract

Whole-year Velocity Standards: Chronological Age-based and Individual Type We now consider how to construct velocity standards, to answer our second question 'Has this child's rate of growth been within normal limits ?'We are again confronted with the alternatives of plotting against chronological or developmental age at adolescence and we have adopted the same solution as before.First we give, in the conven- tional manner, centiles plotted against chrono- logical age, over the whole age span.These are calculated simply from two measurements a year apart, without using further longitudinal data.They depend on a two-occasion longitudinal study, nothing further.At adolescence these standards are greatly scattered by the phase-difference effect.If we know nothing about a boy except that he is 12 years old and grew 3 cm.during the last year, we must plot 3 cm.at 11 * 5 years and interpret this according to the chronological age centiles.If, however, we know that he is mid- pubescent, or that his skeletal age is 14 * 0 years, then in theory we could make a more effective interpretation if we had the appropriate standards.We have to remember, however, that in one important respect velocity standards differ from distance ones.In velocity standards a child does not have the same strong tendency to stay in the same centile position from one age to another; there is always a contrary tendency to a move from the outer centile positions towards a more central position in the subsequent year.Though a child can follow the 60th or even 70th centile of velocity from the pre-school years till maturity and end up a large but normal adult, a child who follows the 97th centile

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
