#' UK 1990 growth reference
#'
#' The UK 1990 growth reference (Freeman et al 1995, Cole et al 1998) for
#' height, weight, body mass index, circumferences and percent body fat, fitted
#' by the LMS method and summarised by values of L, M and S by sex from 23
#' weeks gestation to 23 years.
#'
#' The L, M and S values for each measurement correspond respectively to the
#' Box-Cox power, median and coefficient of variation of the distribution by
#' age and sex (Cole & Green 1992). The short names and units for each measurement (see
#' \code{\link{LMS2z}}) are as follows: height (ht, cm), weight (wt, kg), body mass
#' index (bmi, kg/m2), head circumference (head, cm), sitting height (sitht, cm), leg length
#' (leglen, cm), waist circumference (waist, cm) and percent body fat (fat, %).
