Others include delayed onsetofpuberty, neurological and intellectual deficits, and an increased frequency of extra-cardiac abnormalities.
Clearly, the use of mathematical growth models to identify physiological thresholds such as onsetofpuberty does not seem to be indicated.
Accordingly, if that parameter cannot be freely estimated, there is no point in deriving a relationship between onsetofpuberty and a fixed inflection point.
These results suggest that the onsetofpuberty has a marked effect on the development of health behaviours.
Brody (1945) considered that the inflection point of the growth curve coincides with the onsetofpuberty.
Thus, a nutritional treatment that advances age at onsetofpuberty may have this effect only in a genetic line expressing high growth potential.
There is no suggestion that their biological gender switches with the onsetofpuberty, only the formal trappings thereof.
In this model, late onsetofpuberty may lead to a failure to shut down the synaptic pruning process associated with puberty.
This is a process that takes on additional import following the onsetofpuberty.
These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that growing female sheep must reach a certain minimum level of body fatness before the onsetofpuberty.
It could of course be argued that inflection point is a parameter, and as such it is an individual trait just like the onsetofpuberty.
Current results provide evidence that onsetofpuberty occurs much later than the inflection point of the growth curve, suggesting effects of body composition and minimum weight threshold.
Current theory posits that, biologically, onsetofpuberty must have an allometric relationship with mature size.
Scovel (1988) suggested that a critical period for speech learning may result from a loss of cortical plasticity near the onsetofpuberty.
It is concluded that growth modelling per se cannot be used to infer onsetofpuberty, and that endocrine thresholds do not necessarily demarcate distinct phases of the growth curve.
Before puberty priority had been given to the attachment relationship with the primary caregiver; following the onsetofpuberty there is a shift to peers and eventually romantic partners.
A study systematically examining the relationship between growth curve parameters and the age at onsetofpuberty as determined by endocrine parameters seems to be lacking.
We also report a significant increase of cortisol levels with age, with the largest change occurring between 10 and 12 years of age, which corresponds to the onsetofpuberty.
Nor is it known whether a modest degree of continuing impairment of growth during childhood will be magnified by a delayed or incomplete growth spurt after onsetofpuberty.
