From: Novel type of references for BMI aligned for onset of puberty – using the QEPS growth model
Total, basic, and puberty-specific BMI gain (in kg/m2, top; in SDS with 95%CI, bottom) relative to the onset of puberty for girls (red at the top) and boys (blue at the bottom) according to BMI in childhood: high BMI, > + 1.5SDS (− − −) and low BMI, <− 1.5SDS (− − −). Median total BMI (QEPS-functions, left panels), basic growth (QES-functions, middle panels), and specific pubertal growth (P-function, right panels) in girls and boys from the GrowUp1974Gothenburg cohort. Curves are aligned for age at onset of pubertal growth spurt. Data are visualized alongside the new reference for median total BMI (thick red or blue solid lines) and ± 2SDS (red/blue dotted lines)
