(a) Growth in weight during period A. (b) Weight velocity during period A. (c) Growth in weight during period B. (d) Weight velocity during period B. (e) Growth in height during period B. (f) Height velocity during period B. (g) Changes in BMI during growth. Baka curves show a markedly decrease from around the 3rd month to the age of 2 years and follow later the trajectory of lower percentiles even in the spurt. Adult BMI in the Baka reach about 21, which matches standard French values. BMI, body mass index.
