Published in: Čes-slov Pediat 2010; 65 (4): 159-166.
Category: Original Papers

Overview

The presented paper aims to introduce the pediatrician audience to the Dynamic Phenotype Method and to show the advantages of its use in everyday practice.

Method:
On a selected subsample from the ELSPAC longitudinal study the methodological and graphical application of Dynamic Phenotype Method is shown.

Results:
The result of the paper is presenting the Dynamic Phenotype Method and its reliability to the pediatrician public.

Conclusion:
The Dynamic Phenotype Method is reliable when used to construct individual growth curves to at least 95% and allows processing and prediction of individual growth parameters in the pediatrician’s office.

Key words:
Dynamic Phenotype, growth, body height, growth curve, I, C, P growth curve components
