Schematic Diagram to Show the Commonly Used and Extended Methods of Deriving Conditional Growth Variables.

<p>H: height/length; S: sum of skinfold thickness; W: weight. Each pyramid shows the calculation of a set of conditional variables; (a) shows the use of a single measurement eg. weight or height; (b) shows two measurements combined (weight and height); and (c) shows three measurements as used in our analysis (height, skinfolds and weight). Within each pyramid, each row shows the calculation of one conditional variable, from length at birth at the top to (at the base) 13.5 year conditional weight or height (a), conditional relative weight (b) or conditional lean tissue gain (c). These variables are measures of the residuals from regression models in which the measure to the left of the vertical bar is the outcome, and measures to the right of the vertical bar are the predictors. (a): In the first method, current weight or height was conditioned respectively on all previous measurements of the same type. (b): In the second method described by Adair et al (8), ‘linear growth’ was current height conditioned on all previous height and weight measurements; ‘relative weight gain’ was current weight conditioned on current height and all previous weight and height measures. (c): In our extended method, ‘linear growth’ was current height conditioned on all previous height, skinfold and weight measurements; ‘fat gain’ was current skinfold thickness conditioned on current height and all previous height, skinfold and weight measures; ‘lean tissue gain’ was current weight conditioned on current height and skinfolds, and all previous height, skinfold and weight measures.</p
