Extended Data Fig. 6: Trends in body-mass index (BMI) by place of residence for children, adolescents and young adults for females.
From: Diminishing benefits of urban living for children and adolescents’ growth and development
The figure shows trends in mean BMI at ages five and 19 years, and in age-standardised mean BMI for young adults (20–29 years and 30–39 years) for females. Shaded areas show the 95% CrIs. Trend for young adults were estimated using a model similar to the one described in Methods, where BMI-age patterns were allowed to vary flexibly via a cubic spline function without knots.
