Reference table from the Third Dutch Growth Study 1980
A data frame with seven variables:
Study Population
Subpopulation, e.g.
ethnicity or age group (for nl4.wfh
)
Sex (M,F)
Decimal age (0-21 years) or Height (for nl4.wfh
)
Lambda (skewness) curve
Median curve
Coefficient of Variation curve
The model was fitted by the LMS model. Parameters are stored as type
LMS
. Tabulated values are point ages.
Height follows a normal distribution, with all lambda parameters set equal to
1. The standard deviation (in cm) is obtained as S*M
.
The naming conventions are as follows:
Length/Height (cm) for Age
Weight (kg) for Age
Weight (kg) for Height (cm)
Head circumference (cm) for Age
Leg Length (cm) for Age
Hip circumference (cm) for Age
Waist circumference (cm) for Age
Waist/Hip ratio for Age
Sitting Height for Age
Sitting Height/Height ratio for Age
