Abstract
Height values are presented in Table 8.1 and as centile charts in Figs. 2.1 and 2.2 for Leeds boys and girls respectively. Similarly, height velocities are reported in Table 8.1 and Figs. 2.3 and 2.4. The data are presented as described in Chapter 1 (pp. 6–7) by two different criteria related to chronological age and age as years before and after the age of peak height velocity.
