About Pediatric Growth Assessment

Growth Standards

This calculator uses WHO growth standards for children under 2 years and CDC growth references for children 2-18 years. Percentiles indicate how a child compares to a reference population of the same age and sex.

  • 3rd-97th percentile: Normal range
  • <3rd or >97th: May warrant evaluation
  • Crossing percentiles: Track trends over time

Clinical Considerations

  • • Growth velocity is as important as absolute percentiles
  • • Consider parental height when evaluating short stature
  • • Head circumference most important in first 3 years
  • • BMI interpretation differs for children vs. adults
  • • Premature infants may need adjusted age calculations
  • • Growth charts are screening tools, not diagnostic

Disclaimer: This calculator provides estimates based on population growth data and should be used as a screening tool only. Always correlate with clinical findings and consider individual patient factors. Consult appropriate specialists for growth concerns.
