Anthropometry norms for children table. We calculate the formula for ideal growth of newborns by month. How much do the girls weigh and what is their height?

Below is a calculator for calculating a child's weight.

Enter the child's gender, age and weight, click the "Show result" button and see a comparison of your child's weight with the standard encyclopedic normal.

But we know that this is just a comparative characteristic and nothing more. There is no longer any need to look at many tables and look for the required indicator among a huge number of numbers, it still doesn’t mean much, it’s better to spend this time on yourself :)).

If you care about your child’s health and want to find out how his height, chest or head circumference corresponds to the average, you can use our other calculators:

What Causes Weight Problems?

Does your child have a poor appetite?

Child's weight

The ideal weight for a child or adult is always dictated by fashion. Throughout history, if a baby was thin, he was considered weak, and children who were chubby or even fat were considered healthy. But these are just prejudices, if the child is happy and shows no signs of illness, then it doesn’t matter how much the baby weighs, it is important that nothing interferes with his development.

During visits to the pediatrician, your child will be weighed, height, and other measurements taken. Weighings are performed on gram-accurate scales. A baby up to one year old is weighed naked to accurately determine his weight.

Weigh-ins let you know how your little one is gaining weight, and you can compare your little one's performance to the average child weight. Each baby develops differently, the most important thing is steady growth.

What is "normal" weight?

Normal weight is individual for each child. At an early age, children have a very rapid growth rate, but everyone grows at their own pace. your baby may be smaller, heavier, plumper or skinnier than other children of the same age and this is normal.

As a rule, the baby grows while remaining at “normal” growth rates. Small changes are normal and occur mostly during the first 10 years of life.

Growth chart for boys from 0 to 10 years old

Indicators that fall in the range between “below average” and “above average” are considered to be the norm. I would like to add that the tables show the average values to which the pediatrician is trying to adjust us. Therefore, if your baby does not fit into the average, do not worry, each baby is individual, there are a number of factors that influence the child’s weight.

The height and weight indicators shown in the table are approximate values of their progress. So, you don't have to worry if your baby's weight or height does not fit into the average range. If the baby is happy, then body weight does not affect the child’s health. If your child is not feeling well or is very behind other children, you should consult a doctor.

Early puberty

IN Lately There's a lot of talk about early puberty. The truth is that children today reach puberty earlier. Some scientists believe this is due to excess hormones in animal feed or pesticides applied to plants. However, it is possible that children eat well, and this influences faster maturation.

A child's weight problem usually arises as a result of an energy imbalance. When a child receives more calories than he needs for the lifestyle he leads, he begins to gain excess body weight. When a child receives fewer calories than he burns, he begins to lose weight. Children who consume the amount of calories needed for their lifestyle generally do not have weight problems. The World Health Organization has identified the main causes of obesity:

increased consumption of foods high in fat and high in calories;
consuming too few nutrients;
low physical activity.

Does your child have a poor appetite?

Give your child the opportunity to hear the needs of his body. A child, as a rule, eats the amount of food that is necessary to maintain and achieve a height and weight that is normal... for him. Adults around the baby should provide him with favorable conditions to acquire healthy eating habits. Give the baby the opportunity to feel his hunger and satiety signals, and the role of parents is manifested in the timely satisfaction of these needs.

Regardless of the child’s weight, it is necessary to apply the same strategy in food, that is, give him the opportunity to eat in accordance with his feeling of hunger. This The best way ensure that the child meets his energy needs and receives the nutrients he needs for good growth.

Studies have proven that those babies who were given the opportunity to eat only when they want, and not when their parents wanted it, have a good appetite. And the kids who early age tried to feed different ways“just to eat”, subsequently problems with appetite arise.

Parents are an example for their child. Starting from one year, the baby can eat the same food as the rest of the family. It is important to teach your baby healthy eating habits from an early age. Children will subsequently learn to do right choice in favor healthy eating when they grow up.

Three important things to help your kids develop healthy eating habits are regularity, variety, and taste.

Calculation of body surface area in children

BSA is a calculated or measured surface area of a person's body that indicates a person's metabolic rate.

BSA (Body surface area in m2) = square root (weight in kg * height in cm /3600)

Average PPT values

Tables of height and weight norms according to WHO

At a pediatrician's appointment, every baby under one year of age is weighed monthly and their height is measured. Why is it so important for doctors to know how a child grows and how much weight he gains? What do these parameters indicate, and what are the anthropometric norms for children of different ages?

Where did weight and height indicators for children come from and why are they needed?

A child’s anthropometric data is one of the main indicators of the physical development and health status of children. Significant deviations from normal height and weight values in a child almost always indicate the development or presence of certain diseases. So, if a child under one year old, with sufficient nutrition, does not gain weight well, then this may be one of the symptoms of rickets, anemia, immunodeficiency conditions, diseases of the endocrine or central nervous systems.

Significant growth retardation may indicate a lack of somatotropin growth hormone in the body, and obvious excess weight with normal growth and proper nutrition may indicate disturbances in the functioning of the adrenal glands, thyroid gland, and even the development of a brain tumor.

In order to detect and begin to treat such dangerous diseases in time, doctors carefully monitor the anthropometric indicators of children from birth. The development standards were compiled by the World Health Organization based on many years of research. In addition to the average normative indicator for each age, the limits of the norms were also calculated. Weight and height above this limit are considered high, and below - low. It is these children that doctors begin to monitor especially closely.

WHO height and weight chart for girls under 1 year of age

According to the norms, a healthy full-term girl is born with a height of 49.2 cm and weighs 3,200 g. This is the average. The lower limit of the norm for a newborn is a height of 47.3 cm and a weight of 2,800 g, and the upper limit is located at values of 51 cm and 3,700 g, respectively. Values outside the lower and upper limits of the norm are marked as very low or too high. Doctors will observe such a newborn and, possibly, further examine her.

In the first month, the newborn should grow 4.5 cm and gain a kilogram. The lower limits of the norm for a one-month-old girl will be 51.7 (height in cm) // 3.600 (weight in grams), and the upper limits will be 55.6 // 4.800.

Normal indicators for a two-month-old baby: 57.1 cm and 5.100 g. The lower limit of the norm: 55//4.500, and the upper limit – 59.1//5.800.

By three months, girls grow to 59.8 cm and weigh 5,900 grams. Indicators less than 57.7 // 5.200 are considered low for a three-month baby, and indicators more than 61.9 // 6.600 are considered high.

Height and weight chart for teenage boys

Boys aged 10 to 14 years are slightly behind girls in height; this is a normal phenomenon, since hormonal changes in boys begin a little later than in girls. But after fourteen years, boys begin to grow more rapidly than girls, and by the age of 15 they are ahead of them in terms of growth.

IN adolescence Anthropometric indicators significantly depend on genetic predisposition, therefore, when monitoring the physical development of adolescents, it is recommended to focus not so much on the average indicator, but on the normal limits indicated for each age and on the child’s heredity. So, if the father of a young man is 190 cm tall, then the height of 182 cm for the teenager himself at 15 years old can be considered the norm in this case.

For an 11-year-old boy, the average figures are: 143.5 (height in centimeters)//35.5 (weight in kilograms). Parameters less than 134.5//28 are the lower limits of the norm, and parameters exceeding 153//44.9 are the upper limits.

Average height and weight for a twelve-year-old: 149//39.8. From the border: 140//30.7, to: 159.6//50.6.

A thirteen-year-old teenager normally has indicators: 155.5//44.3. From the border: 145.7//33.9, to: 166//59.

At 14 years old, the average is 161.9//49.7. From the border: 152.3//38, to: 172//63.4.

By the age of fifteen, the average height of children is 168 cm, and weight is 55.5 kg. From the border: 158.6//43, to: 177.6//70.

Average height and weight for sixteen-year-old boys: 172.3//66.9. From the border: 163.2//48.4, to 182//76.5.

At seventeen years old, the average height and weight are 176.6//66.9. From the border: 166.7//54.6, to: 186//80.1.

At every pediatric appointment infant Height and weight must be measured. These indicators, within the established norms, indicate the normal development of the baby physically, which can be tracked using specially developed age tables of weight and height from the World Health Organization, which are used by pediatricians in many countries around the world.

From the history of establishing norms

According to UNICEF and WHO standards, which were adopted in 2002, the optimal form of feeding newborns is breast milk. Breastfeeding ensures healthy growth and timely development for the baby. During the first 6 months of life, WHO experts do not recommend supplementing breast milk with any other products. After the first six months of life, in order to ensure the normal development and health of the child, doctors recommend starting to introduce complementary foods that are adequate for the age and needs of the baby, without stopping breastfeeding at least up to two years of age. In this context, breastfeeding is considered not only as the best biological food for a newborn, but also as the only possible one. Therefore, such standards required revision in order to take into account when calculating the ideal weight and height of a small child and those children who initially had non-standard parameters, and were also not only breastfed, but also on artificial or mixed type of feeding at an early age.

In order to establish new norms, more adapted for different types of infants, experts spent a long time studying about 9 thousand children raised in conditions favorable for development. Moreover, their diet included both mother’s milk and other healthy food appropriate for the age of the individual child, all children have been vaccinated and protected from other adverse effects. The mothers of such babies led healthy image life throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding. This large-scale project under the auspices of the World Health Organization and under the supervision of non-governmental organizations at the United Nations made it possible to develop new, highly adapted standards for infant height and weight that can be applied in most standard cases of infant development.

A multicenter study of child development indicators made it possible to establish the optimal parameters of weight and height, their ratio, as well as the size of their monthly increases, which would correspond to the modern rhythm of life, environmental living conditions, and nutritional patterns. At the same time, in order to increase objectivity, studies were conducted in various ethnic groups of people in Europe, the USA, India, Oman, Brazil and other countries.

Why measure a child's height and weight

Even minor deviations in the established parameters of a child’s development can cause severe panic in caring mothers. However, it is important to understand in this case that there cannot be a single correct norm for all children without exception; a deviation in any direction is considered normal, because pediatricians talk about normal weight gain and height gain based solely on the individual input parameters of a particular person.

The World Health Organization, however, recommends monitoring the weight and height of a child up to one year without fail on a monthly basis. Too large discrepancies with generally accepted norms are a reason to apply for medical care. At the same time, in order to reduce possible errors to a minimum, individual standards were developed for children of different sexes.

Established standards allow parents to roughly navigate the situation when they can calmly observe the baby’s development, and when it is still worth paying close attention to his health and providing timely qualified assistance. At the same time, these standards do not talk about specific problems in the child’s health; they only demonstrate the dynamics of the body’s growth that should be observed during normal development.

Regulatory tables

As a result of the research, special normative tables and graphs of the height and weight of children aged from birth to 10 years were compiled. It is important that these graphs display not only the normative values of height and weight, but also their interdependence for understanding the harmonious development of a person.

Babies under one year old

From birth to one year of age, experts recommend monitoring height and weight parameters on a monthly basis. WHO recommends tracking the main indicators of normal child development using a special table (Table 1):

Children over one year old

At the age of 1 to 3 years, WHO experts recommend monitoring the height and weight parameters of children on a quarterly basis, from 3 to 7 years - every six months, and from 7 to 10 years - annually. By the age of 10, if a boy’s parameters are less than 131.4 centimeters and less than 26.7 kilograms, doctors conclude that the child’s growth is insufficient, and with height parameters above 144.2 centimeters and a weight of more than 37 kilograms, they conclude that physical development is exceeded (Table 2). In girls, insufficient physical development at the age of ten is recorded at parameters less than 132.2 centimeters and 27.1 kilograms, and excessive – at 145 centimeters and 38.2 kilograms of height and weight, respectively (Table 3).

Norms of growth increase

The first 6 months of a child’s life are characterized by the most active dynamics of his growth. Growth at this time occurs in leaps and bounds, and in the warm season such leaps can be many times larger than in winter, since human growth is significantly accelerated under the influence of vitamin D. There is also an opinion that during the process of sleep, small children grow faster, and they sleep a lot in the first six months of their life.

It is customary to link the general assessment of a child’s height to his weight. The normal limits for the first year of life are considered to be the following indicators of growth:

an increase of 3-4 centimeters in the first 3 months of life;
an increase to the previous height of another plus 2-3 centimeters in 4-6 months;
an increase in height in six months of 4-6 centimeters by the age of nine months;
an increase of 3 centimeters to the previous height for 10-12 months.

Thus, a child’s height in the first year of life should, on average, increase by 20 centimeters.

Norms for weight gain

The normal body weight of a newborn should be from 2500 to 4500 grams. The World Health Organization has established that normal monthly weight gain in the first six months of life is 400 grams, and by 6 months of life a person’s birth weight should double. From 6 to 12 months, a baby should normally gain at least 150 grams of weight monthly.

However, if the newborn had a high birth weight (4000 grams or more), then his monthly weight gain should be less than that established for children with a standard weight. And vice versa - low birth weight babies with a birth weight of less than 2500 grams should normally gain weight more rapidly and their monthly gain should be more than 400 grams in the first 6 months of life.

Boys height and weight chart

Since the beginning of the new millennium, specialists dealing with issues of proper baby food, insist that exclusively breast milk can serve as the norm for such nutrition. Since 2005, new World Health Organization charts have been adopted worldwide, characterizing the relationship between age and the height or weight of a child who eats a healthy diet.

Girls height and weight chart

WHO height and weight charts should be different for boys and girls. Below are the reference growth charts for girls aged from birth to 2 years (graph 3 and 4).

Development during puberty

Indicators of weight and height in children aged 11 to 17 years are characterized by a wide range of normative values. These indicators during puberty are influenced by: individual characteristics each individual child, as well as genetic predisposition and heredity.

On average, girls during puberty grow up to 17-19 years old, and boys - up to 19-22 years old. At the same time, the growth of girls increases most rapidly at the age of 10-12, while the growth of boys occurs in a later period - from 13 to 16 years. Growth spurts in teenagers are explained by hormonal surges. At the same time, teenagers react very painfully to their physical parameters - small boys or girls with early rounded shapes begin to develop severe complexes. It is important to prepare the child psychologically in a timely manner for the changes that will occur in his body and explain their nature. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to allow teenagers to follow diets that, in their opinion, will bring them closer to some desired parameters. If a teenager is underweight or overweight for unknown reasons, it is necessary to analyze his lifestyle, nutrition system and undergo a full medical examination to identify any pathologies.

Child's future growth

Experts believe that it is possible to approximately calculate the future height of a child in adulthood using a certain formula. These calculations can demonstrate the basic weight of a person according to genetic predisposition, as well as its possible average value adjusted for gender.

The formula for the future growth of a child assumes that the height base will first be calculated by adding the height of mom and dad in centimeters and dividing the resulting value by 2. For example, the mother’s height is 170 centimeters, the father’s height is 180 centimeters, so the child’s height base will be (170 + 180 )/2= 175 centimeters. Gender adjustment assumes that a girl’s height in adulthood will be 5 centimeters below the base height, that is, in our example, it will be 170 centimeters, and a boy’s height will exceed the base height by 5 centimeters, that is, in the example, 180 centimeters .

These calculations are approximate, but in many cases the actual height of an adult differs from such calculations by only a couple of centimeters in both directions.

We correctly determine the weight and height of the baby

To determine your baby's height at home, you can use a stadiometer or a measuring tape. To correctly measure height, the child must stand barefoot on the floor, touching his back to the ruler. The torso should be straight, feet together, arms down along the body, knees fully extended. The child’s head should be positioned so that the edge of the lower eyelid and the upper edge of the ear are located on the same horizontal line. When measuring height, it is important to touch the ruler with your shoulder blades, heels and buttocks. At the level of the end of the head, a perpendicular is applied to the vertical, at the location of which on the ruler the child’s height is determined.

Scales are used to measure the baby's weight. IN modern conditions The weight of children is most often measured on electronic scales, on which it is important to ensure that the child’s body is in the center of the bowl or plane of the scale. Small children should be weighed lying down or sitting; children who can stand should be weighed standing. When checking the weight of an infant wrapped in a swaddle, subtract the weight of the swaddle itself. Weight checks should be carried out in the morning before feeding and after bowel movements. Bladder and intestines.

Factors influencing deviations

Sometimes young children have weight problems. They can occur due to energy imbalance, various diseases or overfeeding. Energy imbalance occurs in the body due to excessive intake of calories, which provokes excess weight, or due to their shortage, which, accordingly, entails a lack of weight. Weight problems, as a rule, affect growth in children. To avoid such a situation, it is recommended to feed children the food that will correspond to their lifestyle in terms of energy balance, and also to constantly monitor the degree of physical activity that is inherent in a particular child with a certain diet.

All sorts of medical conditions can also lead to problems with height and weight. In addition to pathologies of an infectious nature, congenital diseases, various hormonal changes can occur in the child’s body, which will provoke problems with weight and height.

Many adults try to forcefully overfeed their child, fearing that he will not receive some important nutrients. Pediatricians strongly recommend listening to children's biological needs for nutrition, not force-feeding children, teaching them to independently determine the occurrence of attacks of hunger and satiety and satisfy them in a timely manner. Only then will the body be able to fully develop and strengthen, based on the person’s current age and the quality of the food he eats.

The most important parameters for understanding how your child is developing in the most important - the first year of his life - are the baby’s height and weight. Therefore, it is simply necessary to visit a pediatrician every month to understand how the child’s height and weight changes over the months.

What to consider when comparing with standards

In order to determine how a child is developing, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends taking into account the following parameters:

Gender of the baby.
Height and weight at birth.
Genetic characteristics of the parents (large, tall, short).
Previous intrauterine infections (mother's illnesses during pregnancy).
Are there any infections, viral diseases, teething, or reactions to vaccinations in the child at the moment?
Absence or presence of congenital disorders, diseases.
Social and living conditions of the baby.
Nutritional features.

If your baby was born premature or weighed very little at birth, then the norms for weight gain and height for him will be different from the norms for children who were born on time.

It happens that a baby is born with normal height and weight, but other indicators indicate immaturity:

A faint cry.
Breathing is irregular and shallow.
Soft ears.
Decreased reflexes.
Incompletely formed genitals.
Dry and wrinkled skin.

Degree of prematurity

Degrees of prematurity of the baby (WHO information):

If your baby is born ahead of schedule we recommend that you find out more information: about the features of its development, care for premature babies, possible problems and their corrections. A book by a famous pediatrician with 30 years of experience and 35 years of research experience in neonatology will help you with this - Ola Zaugstad " Premature baby. If the child was born earlier.”

Term indicators

Physical data indicating that the baby is full-term:

Often the characteristics of a baby’s weight and height depend not only on the parents’ genetics, but also on the mother’s diet. And an important factor is the indicators of placental-uterine blood flow. Also, the anatomy and physiology of the female breast, the technique of breastfeeding, common diseases of women and children, the compatibility of breastfeeding with various foods and medications, methods of organizing breastfeeding - all this can affect the baby’s gain in height and weight. It will help you understand these issues in detail. Dr. Carlos Gonzalez in his book “The Gift of a Lifetime. Breastfeeding Guide"

Don't forget that according to WHO, girls and boys gain weight and grow differently.

Standards for children of the first year

The average weight of a baby at birth according to WHO recommendations is from 3.2 kg to 3.7 kg.
Weight loss in the first week of a child’s life is considered normal.
The baby gains the most in the first five months of life, then the weight gain gradually slows down.
If a child eats formula, he gains weight faster.
The growth of a child by month is very dependent on weight gain. First, the body devotes all its strength to gaining weight, and only then the baby grows.
The period from the first to the sixth month is the most active for a child’s weight gain and growth.
A normal child at the age of one year weighs from 8.9 kg to 9.6 kg.
The average child at the age of 1 year grows to 74 - 76 cm.
It is in the first year of life that the most active growth. During this time, the baby grows by 20 - 30 cm.

Important to remember

According to WHO information, young children in the first year of their life are especially sensitive to deficiency (lack) of body weight.

A very small weight gain may indicate anemia, an eating disorder or rickets, the possible presence of endocrine diseases and immunodeficiency, and lack of weight may also characterize disorders in the central nervous system.
If a child is underweight, not only physical retardation begins, but also a serious slowdown in mental and mental development.

Against this background, parents can observe two main problems in their child, which arise precisely when raising a child with underweight.

Problems

Vomits and gags while eating. A baby, under the age of one year, does not yet know how to chew, so he may choke if the child has nervous system is overloaded, then in food it can manifest itself in the form of vomiting. At the same time, grinding or grinding even more does not help.
Solution to the problem: arouse the child’s interest in food, let him learn to eat on his own, and control the process himself. Give your baby a piece of bread in his hand, a peeled cucumber or a piece of apple.
Refuses to sit on the potty.
Solution to the problem: Check if it is comfortable. You shouldn’t insist too much, much less forcefully hold your baby on the potty. This will only intensify the protest. You should offer to go potty calmly, choosing the time carefully. It is best to do this after sleep, after a long break, or 20 minutes after eating - this is the best time for the baby to go to the potty and understand what you want from him.

This is why it is so important to control your baby’s weight. If there is a lack of milk or during milk crises, it is recommended to supplement with a specialized formula. For low birth weight and premature babies, dry and ready-made formulas in jars have been developed that are convenient to take with you. They are designed to feed a child from birth until the age of 18 months. or weight gain up to 9 kg.

Learn more about the indications for switching to artificial or mixed feeding, how to choose a formula for your baby, how and when to introduce complementary foods, and much more. others are well described in book “Artificial and mixed feeding” by Elena Khramtsova.

Remember that each child is individual and all standards, including those specified by WHO, are only a guideline, but in no case a mandatory comparison. It’s important how the baby feels, how harmonious he is - that’s the only thing that matters.

If he is larger or smaller than he should be and at the same time cheerful, cheerful and developing well, then this is the normal height and weight for your child.

Most parents are interested in the physical health of their children. The weight and height of a child under 10 years of age are his key parameters for both girls and boys. The evaluation criterion is a special scale or auxiliary tables compiled by the World Health Organization. What values will be optimal for different age period both sexes?

Development indicators for girls and boys in the first year of life

Weight by month

There is a separate table showing weight gain for babies up to one year:

Norm and limits of deviation of a child’s weight in the first year of life

Height and weight of a child from one year to 10 years

Very low and high numbers indicate the presence of deviations; those that are above and below the average are considered variants of the norm.

The height and weight table for children under 10 years of age is compiled separately for boys and separately for girls and will help you independently determine whether the process of your child’s physical development needs to be adjusted.

Indicator table for boys

Taking into account the regular weight and height gain of young men, WHO has compiled the following table of height and weight of boys under 10 years of age:

Growth indicators of development of boys under ten years of age

Weight development indicators for boys under ten years of age

The height and weight table for boys aged 10 years shows the proportional ratio for a given time period:

Indicator table for girls

Unlike boys, girls develop much faster. Therefore, it should not be surprising that children of different sexes of the same age may be inferior in performance to each other. The height and weight of girls under 10 years old is presented in this diagram:

Features of development of children from 3 to 5 years old

The physical development of a 3-5 year old child is determined by several parameters:

3 years - height 96 cm+\- 4 cm, weight 12 kg +\-1 kg, chest girth 51 cm+\-2 cm, head circumference 48 cm, presence of about 20 baby teeth;
4-5 years - 104 cm+\-4 cm, 17 kg+\-1 kg, chest 55 cm+\-2 cm, head 50 cm, teeth have not yet been replaced with permanent ones;
the skull of a three-year-old child is equal to 80% of the volume of an adult’s skull, the spine is unstable, and bones and joints are easily deformed from negative external influences;
very rapid blood circulation corresponds to a pressure of 95 to 58, increased excitability is observed, leading to rapid fatigue.

How do girls and boys grow from 5 to 10 years old?

Starting from the age of 5, the child’s body gradually transforms into a teenage one. The height and weight standards for children aged 10 years, as well as during the primary school period, are:

6 years - the body becomes 6-7 cm taller and 2.5-3 kg heavier, average height equal to 107-121 cm, weight 18-28 kg, chest circumference 56-65 cm;
7 years - another 8-10 cm are added in height, 2.5-3 cm to the chest, body length is 114-128 cm, the baby weighs 20-30 kg;
8 years - changes characteristic of puberty are not yet noticeable, 21-32 kg and 119-134 cm;
9 years - children grow to 125-140 cm and 24-36 kg, respectively;
10 years - averages - 129-146 cm and 25-39 kg.

For a simpler understanding of child development, here is a table of the height and weight of children 10 years old:
