Weight for Height - Published info?

[Guest guest]

,

Has a doctor published on the increase in Weight for Height bringing

on adrenarche, or is this Harbison's theory? My pediatrician last

night was thrilled that Matt is on the 10th percentage for weight

and height. The whole " But he is getting to fat for his height "

fell on deaf ears. Not that I am overly concerned, but I am

relieved that I don't feel like I have to shove high calorie stuff

at him all day long!

Just wondering if there is something in writing that I can give my

doc down here?

Hmmm.... good question. I know that I added an article to MAGIC

called " Premature Adrenarche " that talked about weight issues. THis

is all so new. I believe that if you do some research through

PubMed into premature adrenarche, there is probably some discussion

about the issue of being overweight influencing it. But I haven't

had the time to research this yet (still trying to finalize next

year's convention speakers). If you find anything, will you let me

know? (But yes, it is also Dr. H's theory, but I don't think it is

a new theory, maybe just new for RSS/SGA kids???)

Hi All:-)

I am going to add my two cents to this with real life experience. My

daughter at about 19 months started to have body odor and she was at the

95th percentile weight for height. she gained weight quickly in about 40

days after reaching the height for her nutrition deficit. You have to be

careful here and call your Endo when sudden and quick weight gain happens.

Dr H said Janelle was beginning adrenarche (if I remember right) from the

tests she ran. We put Janelle on a diet and her body odor started to go

away as she lost some weight. We do not know at this point how the future

would have been since she was pumped up with calories in the hospital on TPN

shortly there after. Dr H was certain Janelle had become insulin resistant

after the TPN but we never had a chance to check. They made her quite obese

and were happy with her weight gain but I was not. This is one reason why

we need our primary and specialty doctors who see our children to call and

listen to Dr H. I can not stress this point enough.
