When assessing a child with short stature it may be difficult to differentiate between delayed growth and adolescence and constitutional short stature, which usually provide a completely different prognosis of adult height. The growth data on 43 boys were retrospectively studied after they had reached adult height. Two groups were differentiated according to their final height, i.e. boys with delayed growth and adolescence; and boys with constitutional short stature. From these data a discriminant analysis was worked out that could be used as a means to facilitate the prediction of adult height in boys short stature.
在评估身材矮小的儿童时，可能难以区分生长和青春期延迟与体质性身材矮小，这两者通常会给出截然不同的成人身高预后情况。对43名男孩达到成人身高后的生长数据进行了回顾性研究。根据他们的最终身高将其分为两组，即生长和青春期延迟的男孩；以及体质性身材矮小的男孩。从这些数据中得出了一种判别分析方法，可作为预测身材矮小男孩成人身高的一种手段。
