Figure 1. Clinical weights (blue open circles) [1,3]; Schematic Model weight curve with 15 consecutive age periods (red points), age periods indicated with blue labels on horizontal axis [1]; and 0 SD standard weight curve (black line) [5]. Each age period and corresponding Period-Averaged-Weight-Velocity (period; PAWV in kg/year) are: (1;5.7), (2;–1.14), (3;17.1), (4;5.5), (5;–9.5), (6;7.5), (7;–25.5), (8;6.2), (9;45.0), (10;3.55), (11;5.12), (12;–1.31), (13;1.02), (14;10.6), and (15;1.36).
