Abstract
- This article examines the affects of the rhythm of maturation on the duration and intensity of height growth during puberty among both girls and boys, using longitudinal clinical follow-ups. Results found that late maturers were taller than early ones during puberty, but final height depending on age of onset did not differ in either sex.
