In males, reduced AGD is associated with testicular cancer, infertility, and lower sperm count. In females, AGD is associated with endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In the Odense Child Cohort, a prospective population-based birth cohort, pregnant women were enrolled in early pregnancy. AGD and BMI were measured repeatedly in children at ages 3 and 18\u2009months, as well as at 3, 5, 7, and 9\u2009years.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>PARTICIPANTS\/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>AGD was measured from the anus to the scrotum (AGDas) and to the penis (AGDap) in 1022 boys, and to the posterior fourchette and the clitoris in 887 girls repeatedly between the age of 3\u2009months to 9\u2009years. In total, 7706 assessments were made. AGD was adjusted for body weight, and SD scores (the difference between individual AGD and the mean of AGD in the population divided by SD of AGD) were calculated for each child. Pearson correlation coefficient (r) of each measurement was performed to investigate whether individual AGD was stable during childhood. Short predictive values at 3\u2009months (20th percentile) to 9\u2009years were investigated using the AUC produced by the receiver operating characteristic curve.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In boys, AGD\/body size-index SD score correlated significantly between infancy and 9\u2009years, strongest for AGDas (r\u2009=\u20090.540 P\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.001). In girls, weaker significant correlation coefficients were found between AGD at infancy and 9\u2009years; higher correlation coefficients were found between AGD from 3 to 9\u2009years (P\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.001). Short AGDas in infancy predicted short AGDas in boys aged 9\u2009years (AUC: 0.767, sensitivity 0.71, specificity 0.71). The predictive values of short infant AGDap, penile width (in boys), and AGD (in girls) concerning short outcomes at 9\u2009years were low.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The AGD measurements are less precisely measurable in girls compared to boys, especially in infancy, resulting in less reproducible measurements. Additionally, because AGD is shorter in girls, the same absolute measurement error is relatively more significant, potentially contributing to greater variability and lower reproducibility in girls. This may contribute to the weaker correlations in girls compared to boys.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In boys, AGDas, relative to body size, correlated from infancy to 9\u2009years, suggesting that AGD in infancy can be considered a non-invasive marker of later reproductive health. Further follow-up studies are needed to evaluate long-term individual tracking of AGD as well as assessment of childhood AGD as early marker of adult reproductive health.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>STUDY FUNDING\/COMPETING INTEREST(S)<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study was supported by Odense University Hospital, Denmark, the Region of Southern Denmark, the Municipality of Odense, Denmark, the University of Southern Denmark, Odense Patient data Exploratory Network (OPEN), Denmark, the Danish Research Council (4004-00352B_FSS), Novo Nordisk Foundation, Denmark (grant no.
