We show successful, validated ML of AH using growth measurements before age 6 years. The most important features for prediction were sex, and height at age 3.4-6.0. Prediction errors result in over- or underestimates of AH for short and tall subjects, respectively. Prediction by ML can be generalized to other cohorts.
