Child Weight Percentile Calculator
The Child Weight Percentile is a measurement that compares a child’s weight to a reference population of children of the same age and gender. It helps determine how a child’s weight compares to others and assesses whether their weight falls within a healthy range. The percentile indicates the percentage of children in the reference group who weigh less than the child.
What Do the Percentiles Mean?
The percentile provides a context for the child’s weight relative to the population:
Below the 5th Percentile: Underweight
- The child weighs less than most children of the same age and gender, possibly indicating undernutrition or a medical issue.
5th to 85th Percentile: Healthy Weight
- The child’s weight is within a typical and healthy range.
85th to 95th Percentile: Overweight
- The child weighs more than most children, which may indicate excess weight for their age.
Above the 95th Percentile: Obese
- The child weighs significantly more than most peers, suggesting obesity.
