In this paper the correlations between parameters quantifying the mid-growth spurt (MS) and the pubertal spurt (PS) of height are explored. These parameters are defined in individual acceleration, velocity, and distance curves, which are obtained via kernel estimates as previously introduced. The MS proves to be a phenomenon largely independent of the PS. Intensity, timing, and duration of the PS are also independent mechanisms of growth and neither of them influences adult height in an appreciable way. Adult height depends mostly on pre-adolescent velocity. Short-, medium- and long-term regulatory mechanisms for explaining height growth are considered. For short-term mechanisms, acceleration plays a crucial role.
本文探讨了量化身高的中期生长突增（MS）和青春期生长突增（PS）的参数之间的相关性。这些参数在个体加速度、速度和距离曲线中定义，这些曲线是通过如前所述的核估计获得的。事实证明，MS是一种很大程度上独立于PS的现象。PS的强度、时间和持续时间也是独立的生长机制，它们都不会对成年身高产生明显影响。成年身高主要取决于青春期前的速度。文中考虑了解释身高增长的短期、中期和长期调节机制。对于短期机制，加速度起着关键作用。
