Pubertal growth spurt does not occur in some normally growing Polish girls, suggesting an evolutionary origin of adolescent growth polymorphism

Key Points

• Some normally growing Polish girls do not experience a pubertal growth spurt, indicating biological variability.
• The study highlights differences in growth patterns among adolescents based on evolutionary factors.
• Findings suggest that adolescent growth polymorphism may be influenced by genetic or environmental aspects.
• Understanding these growth patterns can aid in addressing developmental concerns in adolescents.
