Japanese children reach skeletal maturity 1-2 years earlier than European and Chinese children. This study compared skeletal maturation reference values across diverse populations.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric endocrinology
  • Anthropometry
  • Human skeletal development

Background:

  • Establishing contemporary reference values for skeletal maturity is crucial for accurate growth assessment.
  • Previous studies have indicated potential population-specific differences in skeletal maturation rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish contemporary reference values for skeletal maturity in the Japanese population.
  • To compare the skeletal maturation of Japanese children with other international populations.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized measurements of the radius, ulna, and short bones of the left hand and wrist.
  • Compared newly obtained Japanese skeletal maturity data with existing data from the UK, Belgium, North India, and South China.

Main Results:

  • Japanese children attain skeletal maturity 1-2 years earlier than contemporary European and Chinese children.
  • Skeletal maturation data for the North Indian population was insufficient for a direct comparison.

Conclusions:

  • Significant population-specific variations exist in skeletal maturation timing.
  • Japanese children exhibit accelerated skeletal maturation compared to European and Chinese counterparts.
