From: Novel type of references for BMI aligned for onset of puberty – using the QEPS growth model
Median total BMI (in kg/m2, top; in SDS with 95% CI, bottom) according to chronological age for girls (left) and boys (right) from the GrowUp1974 Gothenburg cohort grouped according to timing of puberty: early, <− 1.5 yrs. (− − −), average, ±0.25 yrs. (• • •), and late, > + 1.5 yrs. (− − −). Data are visualized alongside the reference for median total BMI (thick solid lines) and ± 2SDS (dotted red (left) and blue (right) lines)
