Brief Summary

CrescNet is a network of primary care physicians and pediatricians (n=219) and endocrinological treatment centers (n=33), established in Leipzig in 1998, whose aim is to improve the early detection of growth disorders. Secondary to this clinical aim, epidemiological analyses, for example on secular trends of growth data of children, are performed.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • growth disorders

    Early detection of growth disorders in childhood and adolescent development. For this, not only absolute data but also growth velocity data are evaluated.

    18 years

  • obesity

    detection of critical age periods for the development of obesity. For this, not only absolute data but also growth velocity data are evaluated.

    18 years
