Abstract

Objective: This study investigated the onset, peak height velocity (PHV) and end of adolescent growth spurt as well as menarcheal timing deduced from surveying accumulative height growth over many years. Methods: Ninety six students of Samgoe high school between 1st and 3rd grade that were in good health participated in the research. A survey questionnaire was distributed to examine the students' health status and menarche timing. Results: Adolescent growth spurt typically began at the age of 9.9 and reached a PHV at the age of 11.6. The growth spurt ended at the age of 14.1 on average. The average age of menarche was 12.6 years, which was about one year after the PHV of adolescent growth spurt. In most cases, menarche came after PHV. But in 24% of the students, menarche and PHV was nearly coincident or menarche preceded PHV. The growth curves were classified into four types. A typical adolescent growth spurt showed one PHV on graph that drastically drops after the PHV. However, there were cases with two PHVs. Conclusions: The results indicate that individual growth patterns show large individual differences, however the categorization into the various growth curves may aid in predicting individual growth patterns.

이 연구는 만 7세부터 17세까지의 신장의 누년적 변화를 통해서 사춘기 최대 성장기와 초경 발생 시기와의 관계를 평가하고, 성장 곡선의 형태에 따라 성장 곡선을 분류하여 각 형태별 특징을 파악하고자 시행하였다. 경기도 화성에 있는 삼괴 고등학교에서 1학년부터 3학년까지 96명의 생활기록부에 기재되어 있는 신장의 누년적인 자료가 이용되었으며, 초경 시기와 전신적 질환 유무는 설문지를 통해 조사되었다. 사춘기 성장 가속기는 9.9세에 시작하여 11.6세에 최대 성장기를 이루고 14.1세경에 끝났다. 초경은 12.6세에 일어나며 76.1%는 최대 성장기 이후에 나타나고 최대 성장기와는 1년의 차이를 보인다. 10.4%에서 최대 성장기 전에 초경이 나타났고 13.5%에서는 최대 성장기와 동일한 시점에 나타났다. 초경 시기와 관계없이 사춘기 성장 가속 기간은 4.2년으로 일정하게 나타난다. 성장 곡선을 4가지 형태로 분류하였으며, A형은 51.1%, B형은 21.9%, C형은 20.8%, D형은 6.2%의 분포를 보인다. C형의 성장 가속기간이 가장 길게 나타난다. B형과 C형에서 PHV가 두 개인 경우는 B형과 C형의 58.5%인 24명에서 나타났다. 이상의 연구 결과에서 개개인의 성장 양상은 개인차가 크며 초경뿐만 아니라 누년적인 성장을 참고로 하여 onset의 정확한 시기와 성장 곡선 형태를 파악할 수 있다면 남은 성장 기간 예측에 도움을 줄 것으로 생각된다.
