Comparison of model projections against multiple samples.

Empirical results include mean and standard deviation (in parenthesis) of each outcome, and below that the simulation model's projections. Unless specified, simulation model results report baseline projections with no attempt to fit the data. Simulation numbers are made bold if they fall outside of mean +/-standard deviation. Where model parameters were fitted to match a specific outcome, the comparison for that outcome is made italic.
* Infant's individual height factor is fitted to start from 9 month old sample means.
†Model fitted to initial weight, height, and fat fraction. Energy intake provided to match final weight. Simulation starts at age 5.
#Energy intake provided to match the final weight.
&Energy intake provided to match final weights for overweight samples (65.3 kg for male and 74.9 for female).
