Standard growth curves for achondroplasia, the most common form of short-limbed dwarfism, have been constructed based on measurements of height, growth velocity, upper and lower segment, and head circumference in 400 achondroplastic dwarfs. These standard curves provide the basis to assess normal growth in these individuals, to aid in the determination of superimposed disorders, and to assess any growth accelerating therapy.
针对最常见的短肢侏儒症类型——软骨发育不全，已根据400名软骨发育不全侏儒症患者的身高、生长速度、上下肢长度及头围测量结果构建了标准生长曲线。这些标准曲线为评估这些个体的正常生长情况、辅助判断是否存在并发疾病以及评估任何生长加速治疗方法提供了依据。
