“…KOPS data were obtained between 1996 and 1999. These data were compared with reference for 5 to 7-y-old children in northwest Germany from 1978 published by Reinken et al 25 state. 20 In 5 to 7-y-old children there is a linear social gradient in unhealthy behaviours.…”

Prevention of obesity—more than an intention. Concept and first results of the Kiel Obesity Prevention Study (KOPS)

OBJECTIVE:Obesity prevention is necessary to address the steady rise in the prevalence of obesity. Although all experts agree that obesity prevention has high priority there is almost no research in this area. The effectiveness of different intervention strategies is not well documented. There is also no structured framework for obesity prevention. DESIGN: Based on (i) our current and limited knowledge and (ii) the idea that prevention of childhood obesity is an effective treatment of adult obesity, the Kiel Obesity Prevention Study (KOPS) was started in 1996. Concept, intervention strategies and first results of KOPS are reported in this paper. KOPS is an ongoing 8 y follow-up study. We first enrolled a large scale cohort of 5 to 7-y-old children, providing sufficient baseline data. KOPS allows further analyses of the role of individual risk factors as well as of long-term effectiveness of different intervention strategies. RESULTS: From 1996 to 1999 a representative group of 2440 5 to 7-y-old children was recruited (ie 30.2% of the total population of 5 to 7-y-old children examined by the school physicians) and a full data set was obtained from 1640 children. Of the children, 340 (20.7%) were considered as overweight and obese, 1108 children (67.6%) were normal weight, and underweight was found in 192 children (11.7%). Of the normal-weight children, 31% or 346 (21.1% of the total population) were considered to have a risk of becoming obese. Cross-sectional data provided evidence that (i) there is an inverse social gradient in childhood overweight as well as health-related behaviours and (ii) parental fatness had a strong influence on childhood overweight. We observed considerable changes in health-related behaviours within 1 y after combined 'school-' and 'family-based' interventions. Interventions aimed to improve health-related behaviours had significant effects on the agedependent increases in median triceps skinfolds of the whole group (from 10.9 to 11.3 mm in 'intervention schools' vs from 10.7 to 13.0 mm in 'control schools', P < 0.01) as well as in percentage fat mass of overweight children (increase by 3.6 vs 0.4% per year without and with intervention, respectively; P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: First results of KOPS are promising. Besides health promotion, a better school education and social support seem to be promising strategies for future interventions.

“…The height deficit increased stepwise during the first 2 years. Growth in girls with WBS was around the 3rd percentile [1][2][3]19] until age 9 years. Growth velocity data (Table 3) showed that there is a mid-growth spurt in WBS girls (increase in height velocity from 5.9 to 6.9 cm/year from age 6 to 7 years).…”

Statural growth in Williams-Beuren syndrome

et al. 1992

The spontaneous growth of 165 patients (75 girls and 90 boys) with Williams-Beuren syndrome was analysed in a mixed longitudinal and cross-sectional manner. Mean (+/- 1 SD) length at birth was 48.2 +/- 2.6 cm in girls (n = 52) and 49.0 +/- 3.0 cm in boys (n = 65). Intrauterine growth retardation (length below -2 SD of the normal population) was present in 35% of the girls and 22% of the boys. Poor growth was noted during the first 2 years of life. Until age 9 years in girls and 11 years in boys, mean growth followed the 3rd percentile. A pubertal growth spurt with normal growth rate was seen at age 10 years in girls and 13 years in boys, i.e. 1 to 2 years earlier than normal. Menarche also occurred earlier than normal at a mean age of 11.6 +/- 1.5 years (n = 28). Mean adult height was 153.9 +/- 6.9 cm in girls (n = 17) and 168.2 +/- 6.9 cm in boys (n = 27), approximately corresponding to the 3rd percentile in both sexes and correlating with the genetic height potential (target height). The mean deficit of adult height compared to target height was 10.2 cm in girls and 9.1 cm in boys. Skeletal development progressed at an approximately normal rate in both sexes.

“…However, in 1995, Ranke et al L131 used the term ISS and proceeded to divide patients into those with FSS and those with CDGP according to whether height standard deviation score (SDS) was within the range for parental target height (defined as equal to or greater than a target height SDS of -1.28 SD) or below parental target height, respectively. The selection criteria are summarized in table 1, and the studies are identified as A-F. Tanner height standards |14] were usually used to select pa tients, with the exception of studies C and F, in which Ger man standards [15] were used, and study E, in which North American standards [16] were used. Auxological data for studies A -F are summarized (using mean values only for clarity) in table 2.…”

Spontaneous Adult Height in Patients with Idiopathic Short Stature

This paper is a review of studies investigating adult height achieved by patients with idiopathic short stature. In all of these studies, final height SDS was increased compared with height SDS at presentation, but mean adult height usually fell short of target height. Prediction of adult height was inaccurate, varied with the method used and was imprecise. There was little objective evidence of a negative psychosocial impact of short stature, although patients did perceive the disadvantages of short stature.
