From: Novel type of references for weight aligned for onset of puberty – using the QEPS growth model
Mean total, basic and puberty-specific weight gain (in kg, top; in SDS with 95% CI, bottom) relative to onset of puberty for girls (red at the top) and boys (blue at the bottom) grouped according to onset of puberty (early, <− 1.5 yrs. (- - -), average, ±0.25 yrs. (• • •), and late, > + 1.5 yrs. (- — -)). Mean total weight (left panels), basic weight growth (middle panels), and specific pubertal weight growth (right panels) from the GrowUp1974Gothenburg cohort. Curves are aligned for age at onset of pubertal growth spurt. Data are visualized alongside the new reference for total mean weight (thick red or blue solid lines) and ± 2SDS (dotted blue lines)
