For ages 5–19 years, the World Health Organization (WHO) publishesreferencecharts based on ‘core data’ from the US National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), collected from 1963–75 on 22,917 US children. To promote the use of body mass index in older children, weight-for-age was ...
Stature and weight data from birth through 18 years of age and head circumference from birth through 5 years of age were utilized to construct new length/height-for-age, weight-for-age, head circumference-for-age and weight-for-height curves. Conclusion Achondroplasia-specific growth curves are ...
We used a likelihood ratio test to calculate P values, including those for interactions in global models. We performed sensitivity analyses testing assumptions of our models, separately excluding DCIS and prevalent breast cancers. In the models of associations of BMI at age 20 years with breast ...
The association between weight perception and the SES score was assessed using logistic regression adjusted for age, sex, and actual weight status. All analyses in this paper were restricted to the individuals (n = 1239) who had full data for all variables relevant to this paper. Weight ...
The values reported by Scholz and his coworkers [ Mayo Clin Proc, 63 (1988) 126–136,637] show that distributions of normal heart weights in the period of body growth from birth to 19 years of age are age and sex dependent and actually more dependent on body weight. General formulas are...
The differences between meat-eaters, fish-eaters, vegetarians and vegans in age-adjusted mean BMI at follow-up were similar to those seen at baseline. Multivariable-adjusted mean weight gain was somewhat smaller in vegans (284 g in men and 303 g in women, P<0.05 for both sexes) and ...

They use percentiles to compare your baby's growth to other babies of the same age and sex. The charts show the height and weight (or length, for babies) for children of both sexes in the 50th percentile, which is the average. Anything higher means your child is larg...

Analyses were adjusted for age, sex, physical activity level, nutrition and school attended. Results Higher levels of parental encouragement, as compared to low encouragement, were positively associated with higher global HRQoL scores, particularly in the physical functioning domain. To a lesser degree...
