2. Fig 1
Association between BMI percentile for age and total IgE level by sex, NHANES , children age 2 to 19 years. The shaded region represents the 95% confidence limits of the data. The black lines represent observations and show where the data lie on the BMI distribution. The x-axis is plotted as the z score for BMI for age and labeled with the transformation of z scores to percentiles.

4. Correlation between percentage body fat measured by means of DXA and BMI z score by age group (in quintiles), sex, and race/ethnicity in unweighted data from NHANES The dark gray line represents the median BMI, and the light gray lines represent the 85th and 95th percentiles of BMI for age and sex. The correlation (with 95% CI) is given overall and above and below the median value for each age/sex group.
