Bone age, predicted adult height and HOMA-IR in children and adolescents with overweight and obesity: a single-centre cross-sectional study
Approximately half of the included children had advanced BA, one-fifth of them had PAH impairment and two-thirds exhibited insulin resistance. Advanced BA and HOMA-IR were positively correlated with the BMI z-score. A BMI z-score above 2.40 SDS may indicate BA advancement and insulin resistance.
