2 Fig. 1 An example illustrating unadjusted height, Himes adjusted height, and the CFF target height and lower bound for a 15year-old boy with unadjusted height of 157cm (= 5th percentile) and mid-parental height of 160cm.

3 Fig. 2 Comparison of unadjusted height percentiles and Himes adjusted height percentiles in children with CF. Short parents: average parental height percentiles ≤25th; average parents: average parental height percentiles between 26th and 74th; tall parents: average parental height percentiles ≥75th.

4 Fig. 3 Pair-wise comparisons of the discrepancy among four methods of determining the prevalence of short stature in CF children. Short parents: average parental height percentiles ≤25th; average parents: average parental height percentiles between 26th and 74th; tall parents: average parental height percentiles ≥75th.

5 Fig. 4 Comparison between unadjusted height percentile (panel A) and Himes adjusted height percentile (panel B) on their associations to lung function parameter percent predicted forced expiratory volume in one second (%FEV1) in CF children with discrepant classification on short stature at age 15 (n=217).
