A new approach to modelling human linear growth from birth to maturity is presented. The model splits growth into three additive and partly superimposed components, appropriately named infancy, childhood and puberty; we refer to it as the ICP-model for obvious reasons. A key feature of this model, compared with others, is that the components correspond with known features of the endocrinological regulation of growth and can be considered in isolation from one another.
本文提出了一种模拟人类从出生到成熟阶段线性生长的新方法。该模型将生长分为三个相加且部分重叠的阶段，分别命名为婴儿期、儿童期和青春期；由于显而易见的原因，我们将其称为ICP模型。与其他模型相比，该模型的一个关键特征是这些阶段与生长的内分泌调节的已知特征相对应，并且可以相互独立地进行考量。
