What Are Growth Percentiles?

Key Growth Factors to Track in Children

A growth percentile represents how your child's growth measures against other children of the same age and gender. For example, if your child’s weight is in the 50th percentile, they weigh more than 50% of children and less than the other 50%

  • Weight: Indicator of general health, nutrition.

  • Height: Measures linear growth.

  • Head Circumference: Important for assessing brain development.

Below 3rd Percentile

A child who falls below the 3rd percentile for a growth parameter (such as weight, height, or head circumference) is smaller than 97% of children of the same age and gender.

Average Growth

A child in the 50th percentile is exactly average compared to peers of the same age and gender. This means that 50% of children are below this child's value, and 50% are above.

Above 97th Percentile

A child in the 97th percentile or above means they are larger (in weight, height, or head circumference) than 97% of children of the same age and gender.
