Normal Child Population Data

Z-scores for body composition attributes, such as bone mineral content or lean body mass, are available on-line to registered users. The data are based on thousands of measurements performed at the CNRC Body Comp Lab. A BMI calculator available to all users is presented, with data provided by the Department of Health. Growth charts for children are also presented in a graphing application that calculates height and weight percentiles.
