While fascinating and depressing myself, by turns, here, I was reminded of an anomaly that those with kids might have noticed. Weight and height for kids generally tracks at one pound/inch. A 60 inch tall kid weighs about 60 pounds. Yet for adults, it looks more like one pound per centimeter — 2.54 times as much. At 183 cm my ridiculously ideal weight is close to 183 pounds. But my kids both follow a pound/inch ratio.
Do our <ahem> bones become that much more dense?
