a,b, Change in the urban–rural difference in age-standardized mean height and the urban–rural difference in age-standardized mean BMI in girls (a) and boys (b). See the caption for Fig. 1 for a description of the contents of this figure. See Supplementary Fig. 4c for results at ages 5, 10, 15 and 19 years. We did not estimate the difference between rural and urban height and BMI for countries classified as entirely urban (Bermuda, Kuwait, Nauru and Singapore) or entirely rural (Tokelau).
