Quantile regression lines of BMI for white children aged 5 to 15 years and African American children aged 5 to 12 years. The scatter represents the relationship between age (in years) with BMI (in kilograms per square meter) superimposed by the regression quantile lines for the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 85th, 90th, and 95th quantiles for white boys (A), white girls (B), African American boys (C), and African American girls (D). The 95th percentile for African American girls could not be accurately calculated because of the sparsity of the data.
