Within-person height and weight trajectory segments were pooled from National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Young Adults (NLSY) (1986-2010, n=9,402) and National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (1996-2009, n=4,972). Overlapping height and weight trajectories from early childhood and adolescence were jointly matched using Bayesian methods. A cohort of one million 5 year olds (5yo) was matched to anthropometric and sociodemographic measures from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2005-2010,n=565 5yo) and simulated through age 19 years. Projected mean BMI and obesity prevalence was validated against NHANES 2005-2010 data.
