Table of growth and weight of girls

Any parent worries about how his child grows: does it correspond to the norms of development, are there any deviations that require correction. In particular, they are concerned how much the growth and weight of girls meets the standards by years.

The height and weight of the child is due to the presence of the following factors:

The first factor influences more on the growth of the girl. So, if both parents are tall, then their daughter will also be more likely to be tall. While the weight of the child is directly dependent on the composition and quality of nutrition.

Over twenty years ago, growth rates and weights for girls were developed. However, modern growth-weight indicators of the girl's development differ from the available recommendations. This is due to the fact that in most cases children who were born more than 20 years ago were breastfeeding, whereas WHO representatives and pediatricians now advocate breastfeeding and feeding on demand. A child who is breastfed, cardinally different in its physiological indicators from the child-artificer: he slowly gaining weight unlike his peer - a baby, feeding milk mixtures.

Norms for the growth of girls

In this regard, the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2006 compiled new norms on the weight and height of children on a gender basis: a table was established on the growth and weight of girls, reflecting the average growth of girls by year, and body weight according to the age category.

The growth of girls by age is presented in the following photos:

Table of growth of girls under the age of one year:

The tables show the average and extreme values ​​of growth, as well as the normal growth of girls:

It is important for parents to periodically compare the development standards developed by the World Health Organization with the developmental features of their daughter for earlier detection of abnormalities in the growth of the girl.

Separately, a chart was developed for the growth of girls to visualize the standards of child development.

On the table of red lines, the upper and lower bounds of the norm are marked. The older the girl, the more the child's growth, related to the normative index, varies, depending on the hereditary predisposition.

Weights for girls

Tracking the dynamics of the weight of the girl is very important, because in the future it will realize the childbearing function. A loss of weight from development rates towards low weight (anorexia) or excess (obesity) can contribute to the development in the future of serious diseases (infertility, diseases of the cardiovascular system and other organs).

In the table, in addition to the average body weights:

The graph of the weight of girls helps to visually familiarize with the international norms of weight in a girl.

These tables and graphs were developed based on the results of an international study conducted in several countries around the world. Therefore, the norms for the development of the growth and weight of a girl can be used to assess the dynamics of a child's development, regardless of the following factors:
