The SPL is shown to increase in a non-linear fashion with the age of the participant with distinct growth patterns during infancy, childhood, and puberty. Two \u201cisomeric\u201d nomograms were developed due to overlapping age groups in the data. Notable growth was observed at ages 1\u20134, slower growth from 4 to 10 years and a pubertal growth spurt was witnessed thereafter. Wide variability in SPL was observed between ages 5 and 9 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n
