[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Track their height on the CDC growth chart for several years and you'll have good idea of where they will end up based on that curve.[/quote] This is not true. The curves do not represent predicted growth over time. They just show you the data point from an aggregate at each percentile over time. If you graph each subject individually, the kids who start at x percentile have wildly differing curves. I’m sure you know that age of puberty onset varies as much as 5 years for boys, so it wouldn’t make sense that one graph could capture expected growth for a 50th percentile kid who starts puberty at age 9 vs age 14 https://public-pages-files-2025.frontiersin.org/journals/pediatrics/articles/10.3389/fped.2024.1372013/pdf[/quote]
