Abstract
This longitudinal study compared the timing of foot and height velocities with pubertal onset in girls. There was no difference between ages of increased foot and height growth velocities; both occurred before onset of secondary sexual characteristics. Change in foot size may represent an early marker for transition to puberty.Entities:
