The healthy reference population

Quotation from the contributor Theodore F Zucker: "Curves were plotted from five large groups of measurements made on males from infancy to old age. The curve for standing height was based on a total of 17,523 values .. In each of the five groups, care was taken to exclude persons not in good health. .. Evidence indicates that curves for females (not represented) are identical in slope and position with those of males, but the means for females of the same age simply do not extend as far to the right along the curve. The line slopes for the standing height curve are 34, 63, and 35 %, with the breaks at 10 and 22 kg. .. The relationships between standing height and weight for the three weight ranges are expressed by the formulas H/W0.34, H/W0.63, and H/W0.35."
Note: The term 'weight' should be replaced by body mass.
