Answer
The following conclusions can be drawn from these graphs:
- From 0 to 8 years, height of boys increases more than girls so boys are generally a little taller than girls in this age group.
- Both boys and girls experience a sudden increase in height during puberty.
- At the onset of puberty when the adolescence period starts (around 12 years), height of girls show a sudden increase and they become taller than boys.
- Around the age of 16, height of boys catches up with girls and both are equally tall.
- Afterwards, the height increases and becomes stable around 20 years of age with height of boys being a little more than girls.
