OBJECTIVE: To determine hormone levels in a population-based sample of pubertal children and evaluate their association with anthropometric parameters. METHODS: Sex steroid levels were assessed using RIA and IRMA. RESULTS: In boys, changes in weight and height across the period were accompanied by changes in testosterone and SHBG. In girls, anthropometric variables did not change and were not correlated with estradiol. CONCLUSIONS: We observed an association between hormone levels and anthropometric changes when active growth associated with puberty was taking place.
