To present a clinical version of the 2000 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth charts and to compare them with the previous version, the 1977 National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) growth charts. Methods. The 2000 CDC percentile curves were developed in 2 stages. In the first stage, the empirical percentiles were smoothed by a variety of parametric and nonparametric procedures. To obtain corresponding percentil…

  • Statistical effects of varying sample sizes on the precision of percentile estimates

    Open AccessShumei S Guo, Shumei Guo et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2000

    The present study evaluates the precision of outlying percentile estimates, with age- and sex-associated variations and facilitates decisions needed to revise the current NCHS 1977 Growth Charts with regard to 1) the inclusion of 3rd and 97th percentiles and 2) the selection of survey data for the construction of the revised growth charts. Simulation was performed to obtain data with distribution characteristics similar to those of The Third Nati…

  • Weight, stature, and body mass index data for Mexican Americans from the third national health and nutrition examination survey (NHANES III, 1988–1994)

    Open AccessAlan S Ryan, Alex F Roche et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology1999

    Selected age- and sex-specific percentiles are presented for 4,054 Mexican American children ages 1–18 years who were included in the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III, 1988–1994). These percentile values are compared with corresponding percentiles for Mexican Americans from the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HHANES, 1982–1984). In each sex, the weight and weight/stature2 percentiles from NHANES…

  • Reference data for arm muscle and arm adipose tissue areas in Mexican Americans from the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination survey (HHANES 1982–1984)

    Open AccessAlan S Ryan, Rita Wellens et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology1996

    Data for arm muscle area (AMA) and arm adipose tissue area (AATA) from 3695 Mexican American children 6 months to 18 years of age included in HHANES (1982-1984) were used to obtain age-and gender-specific means and selected percentiles. These statistics were compared with those for non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black children from NHANES II (1976-1980). In comparison with non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black children, the Mexican Ameri…

  • Head circumference for Mexican American infants and young children from the Hispanic health and nutrition examination survey (HHANES 1982–1984)

    Open AccessRita Wellens, Alex F Roche et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology1995

    This study presents descriptive statistics for head circumference in Mexican American children 6 months to 7 years of age using data from the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HHANES, 1982–1984) and compares these statistics with national estimates of head circumference for non‐Hispanic White children and non‐Hispanic Black children from the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II, 1976–1980). Head circu…
