The Child Height Percentile is a measurement used to assess how a child’s height compares to other children of the same age and gender. It is a part of growth charts used by pediatricians and health professionals to monitor a child’s growth over time.

The percentile indicates the percentage of children who fall below a certain height. For example, if a child’s height is in the 50th percentile, this means that the child is taller than 50% of other children of the same age and sex, and shorter than the remaining 50%.
