What do the percentiles mean?


If your child is in the 20th percentile for weight, for example, he
weighs more than 20 percent of children his age and less than the other
80 percent. To gain a better understanding of what growth percentile
results mean, click here if you have a child (ages 0-12 months), and click here if you have a toddler (ages 12-36 months).


Our Growth Percentile Calculator is a general educational tool only;
it is not the last word on how your child is growing. This calculator
is not a substitute for having a physician monitor your child's growth
during regularly scheduled examinations. If you have any questions about
your child's growth patterns, please ask your child's doctor.


These percentiles were compiled using the latest growth chart data
from the National Center for Health Statistics, U.S. Public Health
Service (released in November 2000). The numbers are based on five
health surveys done in the United States between 1963 and 1994. The data
takes into account the combined growth patterns of babies from all
races and ethnicities and those who have been breast- and formula-fed.
Past growth charts, which were widely used by pediatricians since 1977
and adopted by the World Health Organization for international use since
1978, were often criticized because they were based on data from a
single study of primarily formula-fed, white, middle-class infants in a
limited geographic area of southwestern Ohio.
