Norms of anthropometry in children table. We calculate the formula for the ideal growth of newborns by months. How much do girls weigh and what is their height

Below is a calculator for calculating the indicator of the child's weight.

Enter the child's gender, age and weight, click the "Show result" button and you will 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 a need to look at many tables and look for the necessary 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 the health of your child and want to know how his height, chest or head circumference corresponds to the average values, you can use our other calculators:

What Causes Weight Problems?

Poor appetite in a child?

Baby 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 kids who were chubby or even fat were considered healthy. But these are just prejudices, if the child is happy, does not show signs of illness, then it does not matter how much the baby weighs, it is important that nothing interfere with his development.

During visits to the pediatrician, your child will be weighed, measured for height and other parameters. Weighings are made on accurate scales up to a gram. A baby up to a year old is weighed naked to accurately determine the weight.

Weigh-ins let you know how your little one is gaining weight, and you can compare your little one's results with the average child's body weight. Every baby develops differently, the most important is sustainable growth.

What is "normal" weight?

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

As a rule, the baby grows, while remaining in "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

Indicators that are in the intervals 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 fit 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 affect the weight of the child.

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

early puberty

There has been a lot of talk lately about early puberty. The truth is that children today reach puberty earlier. Some scientists believe that the reason for this is an excess of hormones in animal feed or pesticides used to treat plants. However, it is possible that children eat well, and this affects faster maturation.

The problem of weight in a child, as a rule, 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 required for their lifestyle do not usually 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;
intake of too few nutrients;
low physical activity.

Poor appetite in a child?

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

Regardless of the weight of the child, it is necessary to apply the same strategy in eating, that is, to give him the opportunity to eat in accordance with the feeling of hunger. This The best way ensure that the child is meeting its energy needs and getting the nutrients it needs for good growth.

Studies have shown that those babies who were given the opportunity to eat only when he wants, and not when his parents wanted it, have a good appetite. And in babies who from an early age they tried to feed different ways“Just to eat”, then there are problems with appetite.

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 child healthy eating habits from an early age. Children will then learn how to right choice in favor of a healthy diet when they grow up.

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

Calculation of body surface area in children

BCA is the calculated or measured surface area of a person's body, which indicates the level of a person's metabolic rate.

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

Average BCA values

Tables of height and weight according to WHO

At the pediatrician's appointment, each baby up to a year is weighed monthly and measured for growth. Why is it so important for doctors to know how a child is growing and how much he is gaining weight? What do these parameters say, and what are the anthropometric norms for children of different ages?

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

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

A significant growth retardation may indicate a lack of somatotropin growth hormone in the body, and a clear excess weight with normal growth and proper nutrition can talk about disorders in the work of the adrenal glands, thyroid gland, and even the development of a brain tumor.

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

WHO table of height and weight for girls under 1 year old

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, additionally examine it.

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

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

By three months, girls grow to 59.8 cm and weigh 5.900 grams. Low for a three-month-old baby is considered to be less than 57.7//5.200, and high is more than 61.9//6.600.

In adolescents, anthropometric data are monitored once a year. For an eleven-year-old girl, the averages are 144.5 (height in centimeters) / / 34.4 (weight in kilograms). Parameters less than 136.2//27.8 are considered the lower normative limits, and parameters more than 153.2//44.6 are considered the upper ones.

Table of height and weight for teenage boys

Boys between the ages of 10 and 14 years are slightly behind girls in growth, this is normal, since hormonal changes in boys begin a little later than in girls. But after fourteen years, guys begin to grow more intensively than girls, and by the age of 15 they overtake 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, but on the limits of the norm indicated for each age and on the child's heredity. So, if the father of a young man has a height of 190 cm, then the height of 182 cm of the teenager himself at the age of 15 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 greater than 153//44.9 are the upper limits.

At each pediatric appointment, an infant's height and weight must be measured. These indicators within the established norms indicate the normal development of the baby in the physical plane, which can be tracked according to specially designed age tables of weight and height from the World Health Organization, which is used by pediatricians in many countries of the world.

From the history of setting standards

According to the UNICEF and WHO standards, which were adopted in 2002, the optimal form of feeding newborns is mother's milk. Breastfeeding ensures healthy growth and timely development of the child. 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 until at least two years of age. In this context, breastfeeding is considered not only as the best biological food for the newborn, but also as the only possible one. Therefore, such norms 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 breastfeeding, but also artificial or mixed feeding at an early age.

In order to establish new, more adapted to different types of infants, norms, for a long time, experts have studied about 9,000 children brought up in favorable conditions for development. At the same time, their diet included both mother's milk and other healthy foods appropriate for the age of a particular child, all children were vaccinated and protected from other adverse effects. The mothers of such babies led healthy lifestyle life throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding. This large-scale project, sponsored by the World Health Organization and sponsored by non-governmental organizations at the UN, has led to the development of new, highly adapted infant height and weight standards that can be applied in most standard cases of toddler development.

A multicenter study of children's development indicators made it possible to establish the optimal parameters of weight and height, their ratio, as well as the amount of their monthly increases, which would correspond to the modern rhythm of life, environmental living conditions, and nutrition scheme. 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 the height and weight of a child

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 true norm for all children without exception, a deviation in any direction is considered normal, because pediatricians talk about normal weight gain and growth, based solely on the individual incoming parameters of a particular person.

The World Health Organization, however, recommends monitoring the weight and height of a child up to a year on a mandatory basis on a monthly basis. Too big discrepancies with generally accepted norms is a reason for applying for medical care. At the same time, in order to reduce the possible error to a minimum, individual standards were developed for children of different sexes.

The established norms allow parents to approximately navigate in a situation where you can calmly observe the development of the baby, 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 speak about specific problems in the health of the child, they only demonstrate the growth dynamics of the body, which 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 from birth to 10 years of age 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 up to a year

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

Children over one year old

At the age of 1 to 3 years, WHO experts recommend monitoring the parameters of height and weight 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, with the parameters of boys less than 131.4 centimeters and less than 26.7 kilograms, doctors conclude that the child is insufficiently tall, and with parameters of height above 144.2 centimeters and a weight of more than 37 kilograms, that the norms of physical development are 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).

Growth rates

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

It is customary to tie the general assessment of the child's height to his weight. The limits of the norm in the first year of life are such indicators of growth increase as:

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

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

Norms of weight gain

The body weight of a newborn should normally be between 2500 and 4500 grams. The World Health Organization has established that a 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, the baby should normally gain at least 150 grams of weight every month.

However, if the newborn had a high birth weight (4000 grams or more), then his monthly weight gain should be less than established for children with standard weight. Conversely, underweight babies with a birth weight of less than 2500 grams should normally gain weight more intensively and their monthly increase 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, experts involved in proper baby nutrition have insisted that only breast milk can serve as the norm for such nutrition. Since 2005, new World Health Organization charts have been adopted around the world that characterize the relationship between age and height or weight of a child who eats healthy food.

Girls height and weight chart

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

Development during puberty

Indicators of weight and height in children aged 11 to 17 are characterized by a wide range of standard values. These indicators during puberty are influenced both by the individual characteristics of each particular child, and by 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 intensively at the age of 10-12, while the growth of boys falls on a later period - from 13 to 16 years. Growth spurts in adolescents are explained by hormonal surges. At the same time, adolescents react very painfully to their physical parameters - boys of small stature or girls with early rounded forms begin to become very complex. It is important to prepare the child psychologically for the changes that will occur with his body in a timely manner, and to explain their nature. At the same time, it is absolutely impossible to allow adolescents to follow diets that, in their opinion, will bring them closer to some desired parameters. If the underweight or excess weight is observed in a teenager for unknown reasons, it is necessary to analyze his lifestyle, nutrition system and undergo a full medical examination to identify any pathologies.

Future growth of the child

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

The formula for the child's future height 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 the height of the girl in adulthood will be 5 centimeters below the base height, that is, in our example, it will be 170 centimeters, and the boy’s height will exceed the base by 5 centimeters, that is, in the example it will be 180 centimeters .

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

Correctly determine the weight and height of the baby

To determine the growth of the baby at home, you can use a stadiometer or centimeter tape. To correctly measure height, the child must stand barefoot on the floor, touching the back of the ruler. The torso should be straight, feet moved together, arms lowered down along the body, knees fully extended. The head of the child 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 the shoulder blades, heels and buttocks. At the level of the end of the head, a perpendicular is applied to the vertical, at the place of application of which on the ruler the height of the child 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 scales. Small children should be weighed lying down or sitting, children who can stand should be weighed standing up. When checking the weight of an infant wrapped in a diaper, you need to subtract the weight of the diaper itself. Weight checks should be done in the morning before feeding and after emptying. Bladder and intestines.

Factors affecting deviations

Sometimes young children have problems with weight. 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 because of their shortage, which, accordingly, entails a lack of weight. Weight problems, as a rule, in babies are reflected in growth. To avoid such a situation, it is recommended to feed children with the food that will correspond to their lifestyle in terms of energy balance, as well as constantly monitor the degree of physical activity that is inherent in a particular child with a certain diet.

All kinds of diseases 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 seek to forcefully overfeed their child, fearing that he will not receive some important nutrients. Pediatricians strongly recommend listening to children's biological nutritional needs, not force-feeding children, teaching them to independently identify the occurrence of hunger and satiety attacks and satisfy them in a timely manner. Only then will the body be able to fully develop and grow stronger, based on the existing age of the person and the quality of the food that he consumes.

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

What to consider when comparing with standards

In order to determine how a child develops, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends considering the following parameters:

The gender of the baby.
Height and weight at birth.
Genetic features of parents (large, high, low).
Transferred intrauterine infections (mother's illnesses during pregnancy).
Are there any infections, viral diseases, teething, reactions to vaccinations in the child at the moment.
Absence or presence of congenital disorders, diseases.
Social and living conditions of the baby.
Features of nutrition.

If your child was born prematurely or weighed very little at birth, then the norms for weight gain and height for him will differ from the norms for children who were born at term.

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

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

Degree of prematurity

The degree of prematurity of the baby (WHO information):

If your child was born ahead of schedule we recommend finding out more information: about the features of its development, caring for premature babies, about possible problems and their corrections. The book of a well-known 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 before.

Term indicators

Physical data indicating that the child is full-term:

Often, the characteristics of the weight and height of the baby depend not only on the genetics of the parents, but also on the nutrition of the mother. And an important factor is the indicators of placental-uterine blood flow. Also, the anatomy and physiology of the female breast, the technique of attachment to the breast, common diseases of women and children, the compatibility of breastfeeding with various foods and medicines, ways of organizing breastfeeding - all this can affect the growth of an infant in height and weight. It will help to understand these issues in detail. Dr. Carlos Gonzalez in his book A Gift for a Lifetime. Breastfeeding Guide »

Do not forget that according to WHO, girls and boys gain weight and grow differently.

Norms 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.
It is normal to lose weight in the first week of a child's life.
Most of all, the baby adds in the first five months of life, then weight gain gradually slows down.
If the child eats a mixture, then he gains weight faster.
The growth of the child by months is very dependent on the set in weight. First, the body gives all its strength to gaining mass, and only then does the baby grow.
The period from the first to the sixth month is the most active for weight gain and growth of the child.
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, small children in the first year of their life are especially sensitive to a 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 a lack of weight may characterize disorders in the central nervous system.
With a lack of weight in a child, not only a physical lag 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 a lack of body weight.

Problems

Vomiting and choking while eating. A baby, under the age of one, still does not know how to chew, so it can choke, if the child's nervous system is overloaded, then in food this can manifest itself in the form of vomiting. At the same time, grinding or grinding even more strongly does not help.
Solution to the problem: arouse the child's interest in food, let him learn to eat on his own, he controls the process. Give your baby a piece of bread in a pen, a peeled cucumber, or a piece of an apple.
Refuses to sit on the potty.
Solution to the problem: Check if it's comfortable. Do not strongly insist, and even more so, forcibly keep the baby on the potty. This will only increase the protest. It is necessary to offer to go to the potty calmly, carefully choosing the time. 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.

That is why it is so important to control the weight of the baby. With a lack of milk or during milk crises, it is recommended to supplement with a specialized mixture. For small and premature babies, dry and ready-made mixtures in jars are developed, which are convenient to take with you. They are designed to feed a child from birth to the age of 18 months. or weight gain up to 9 kg.

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

Remember that each child is individual and all the norms, including those indicated by WHO, are only a guideline, but by no means a mandatory comparison. It is important how the baby feels, how harmonious he is - only this matters.

If it is larger or smaller than it should be, and at the same time it is cheerful, cheerful and develops well, then this is the growth rate and weight for your child.

Most parents are interested in the physical health of their children. Indicators of weight and height of a child under 10 years old are its key parameters, both for 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 periods of both sexes?

Weight by month

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

The norm and limits of deviation of the child's weight indicator 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 in the range above and below the average belong to the variants of the norm.

The height and weight table for children under 10 years old is compiled separately for boys and separately for girls and will help you determine for yourself whether it is necessary to correct the process of physical development of your child.

Indicator table for boys

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

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

Indicator table for girls

Unlike boys, girls develop much faster. Therefore, do not be surprised 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 the development of children from 3 to 5 years

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

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

Starting from the age of 5, the child's body gradually transforms into adolescence. The norms of height and weight for children 10 years old, as well as in 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 old - another 8-10 cm in height are added, 2.5-3 cm to the chest, body length 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 old - kids grow up to 125-140 cm and 24-36 kg, respectively;
10 years - averages - 129-146 cm and 25-39 kg.

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