Using our method, one can conveniently estimate BMI trajectory milestones and related characteristics with reasonable accuracy.
Generally, there are two broad types of methods to estimate childhood BMI trajectory milestones: visualization and modeling [ 29].
One important but unanswered question in BMI trajectory literature is the extent of correlations among BMI trajectory milestones [ 14].
Instead, several recent studies [ 14, 17, 18, 33- 36] have used statistical modeling to identify BMI trajectory milestones more objectively.
In this analysis, we were interested in ages and BMI values at two BMI trajectory milestones: infancy peak and adiposity rebound.
Our aims are: 1) to build parametric models to fit BMI trajectory throughout childhood; 2) to estimate BMI trajectory milestones and related characteristics; and 3) to examine pairwise correlations and socio-demographic predictors of BMI trajectory characteristics.

Mr. Pickens cautioned that although the Mint can certify the coin's authenticity, it cannot certify any of the other milestones in its trajectory.
In addition, participants tended to tell their stories chronologically and thematic analysis enabled themes that represented key milestones in the trajectory from pre-PAH to post-PAH diagnosis to form the basis of the data reported in this paper.
We also estimated several other BMI trajectory characteristics related to these milestones, including age difference, change in BMI, velocity (linear rate of change in BMI), and area under curve (AUC) from 1 week to infancy peak, from infancy peak to adiposity rebound, and from adiposity rebound to 18 years of age. Figure 1 shows the key characteristics of BMI trajectory for a hypothetical child.
For example, from individual-specific trajectories, one can identify BMI milestones including infancy peak and adiposity rebound [ 14- 17], and also estimate some novel features of BMI change, such as velocity and the area under a BMI trajectory curve.
Today, I'm excited to share that we achieved another critical milestone in our growth trajectory.
