Tracking the average height and weight of children as they grow is an important aspect of monitoring their physical development and overall health. Growth standards vary slightly based on genetics, nutrition, environment, and gender. This data provides general reference ranges that pediatricians, educators, and parents use to assess whether a child's growth is within the expected range.
E N D
Here's a comprehensive reference table for *average height and weight ranges by age* for children and adolescents, based on *CDC growth charts* (2-20 years) and *WHO standards* (0-2 years). These are *general guidelines* — individual growth varies significantly based on genetics, nutrition, health, and ethnicity.
### ? Height & Weight Ranges by Age (Averages are approximate; healthy children often fall outside these ranges)
| **Age** | **Boys - Height** | **Boys - Weight** | **Girls - Height** | **Girls - Weight** | | ------------ | ------------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------- | ---------------- ------------ | | **Newborn** | 46–54 cm (18–21 in) | 2.5–4.5 kg (5.5–10 lbs) | 45–53 cm (17.5–21 in) | 2.4–4.2 kg (5.3–9.3 lbs) | | **3 months** | 58–64 cm (23–25 in) | 5.0–7.0 kg (11–15.4 lbs) | 57–63 cm (22.5–25 in) | 4.5–6.5 kg (9.9– 14.3 lbs) | | **6 months** | 63–71 cm (25–28 in) | 6.5–9.0 kg (14.3–19.8 lbs) | 61–70 cm (24–27.5 in) | 6.0–8.5 kg (13.2– 18.7 lbs) | | **1 year** | 71–80 cm (28–31.5 in) | 8.5–11.5 kg (18.7–25.3 lbs) | 69–79 cm (27–31 in) | 7.5–10.5 kg (16.5– 23.1 lbs) | | **2 years** | 81–90 cm (32–35.5 in) | 11–14 kg (24.3–30.9 lbs) | 80–89 cm (31.5–35 in) | 10–13.5 kg (22– 29.8 lbs) | | **4 years** | 97–108 cm (38–42.5 in) | 15–18.5 kg (33–40.8 lbs) | 96–107 cm (38–42 in) | 14.5–18 kg (32– 39.7 lbs) | | **6 years** | 110–121 cm (43.5–47.5 in) | 18–23 kg (39.7–50.7 lbs) | 109–120 cm (43–47 in) | 17.5–22.5 kg (38.6–49.6 lbs) | | **8 years** | 122–134 cm (48–53 in) | 22–30 kg (48.5–66 lbs) | 121–133 cm (47.5–52.5 in) | 21.5–30 kg (47.4–66 lbs) | | **10 years** | 130–145 cm (51–57 in) | 27–40 kg (59.5–88 lbs) | 132–148 cm (52–58 in) | 28–42 kg (61.7– 92.6 lbs) | | **12 years** | 142–160 cm (56–63 in) | 34–52 kg (75–114.6 lbs) | 147–163 cm (58–64 in) | 36–57 kg (79.4– 125.7 lbs) | | **14 years** | 156–174 cm (61.5–68.5 in) | 45–68 kg (99–150 lbs) | 155–165 cm (61–65 in) | 45–63 kg (99.2– 139 lbs) | | **16 years** | 167–183 cm (66–72 in) | 54–80 kg (119–176 lbs) | 157–166 cm (62–65.5 in) | 49–67 kg (108– 148 lbs) | | **18 years** | 170–188 cm (67–74 in) | 60–85 kg (132–187 lbs) | 158–168 cm (62–66 in) | 51–70 kg (112– 154 lbs) |
--- ### ? Key Notes: 1. *Growth Spurts Vary*: - Girls often peak in growth at *10–14 years*. - Boys typically peak later at *12–16 years*. (e.g., A 12-year-old girl might be taller than a boy her age). 2. *BMI-for-Age Matters More Than Absolute Numbers*: Pediatricians track if a child’s weight is proportional to height using *BMI percentiles* (e.g., 5th–85th percentile = healthy range). 3. *Red Flags ?*: - Sudden weight loss/gain. - Stalled height growth (>6 months no change). - Falling far below/above their established growth curve. 4. *Puberty Impact*: Hormonal changes cause rapid shifts. Siblings may grow at different paces! ---
