From: Dental biorhythm is associated with adolescent weight gain
a Females (n = 31) attained more weight than males (n = 26) and the difference approached significance (p = 0.054). b Females (n = 31) gained significantly more height compared to males (n = 26). c On average, females (n = 30) attained a greater but not significant increase in BMI relative to males (n = 27). d On average, female (n = 30) lower-leg length was greater than that of males (n = 26). Data are represented as box plots showing interquartile ranges and whiskers that illustrate the minimum and maximum values that were not outliers. *p < 0.05, two-tailed t-test.
