Change in the Growth Rate Standard Deviation (SD) Score for Calendar Age.

Growth rate SD score = (Growth rate - Average growth rate for calendar age of gender) / SD score for growth rate for each calendar age of gender). An SD score indicates how far a participant's score deviates from the mean of the reference population; an SD score higher than the mean gives a positive SD score whereas an SD score lower than the mean gives a negative SD score. In addition, when the bone age was described, it was to be read as the calendar age for men who were 11 years or older and women who were 9 years or older, as necessary.

Change in Height SD Score for Calendar Age.

The change in height standard SD for calendar age = (Height SD score for each calendar age - Height SD score for calendar age of the previous year) / (the date on which the height was measured - the date of the previous year on which the height was measured) × 365.25.
