Estimating mean growth trajectories when measurements are sparse and age is uncertain

2026-02-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background and objectives</h4> Comparing children’s growth across the world and at different moments in history can yield insight into both health challenges and healthy morphological variation in our species. A difficulty of such comparative analyses is that, in marginalized populations, there are often logistical complications to obtaining repeat measures of individual children’s height and weight. The prob...
