Invitation
17th Aschauer Soirée
Growth variation, final height and secular trend
Saturday, November 7th 2009
We will discuss variation in longitudinal growth and its impact on final height, with particular emphasis on world-wide variation in height and secular trends.
(http://www.michael-hermanussen.de/de/events)
We will provide some new results on internet-based child prevention, based on automatic analysis of longitudinal growth data (http://www.childhealth24.com), and we also hope to be able to present some new data on weight maintenance and appetite regulation.
