Many researchers, including J. M. Tanner and Howard Meredith have suggested that children during early school ages enter a small spurt perceptible in height. However, there hasn't been a plausible explanation for it. If some studies prove it conclusively, I am interested in the reasons for it. All views are welcome.

Are there evidence for this growth spurt at early school ages or is it an assumption from researchers?
The early mild spurt may be attributed to the adrenarche which occurs between 6-8 years and leads to increased DHEA and DHEAS levels.
Que opinas de una niña de 5 años con una velocidad de crecimiento elevada, presenta una maduración osea de 7 años, con un test de ACTH normal y valores de estimulo de LH : 5.2 mUI/ml, FSH 38 mUI/ml. Podriamos pensar que ha puesto en marcha el Gonadostato
