[Use of the RWT method for predicting final adult body height in boys of short stature].

On the empirical data of body height of 75 healthy short stature boys, the comparison using Roche, Weiner and Thiessen (RWT) method for predicting adult stature was conducted. There are no significant differences between real and predicted body height, since body height of normal short boys aged 18-19 years was in agreement with the stature predicted retrospectively in the age 10-15 years. American RWT method for predicting final adult stature may be used for Polish boys with hypostatura simplex.
