The height, weight, and head circumference of a child can be compared to the expected parameters of children of the same age and sex to determine whether the child is growing appropriately. Growth charts can also be used to predict the expected adult height and weight of a child because, in general, children maintain a fairly constant growth curve.
In addition, the mid parental height (MPH) is used to calculate the expected height potential and interpret the growth curve of a child. [3] The following calculations are used for males and females respectively: Male = (father’s height + mother’s height + 13 cm)/2 Female = (father’s height-13 cm + mother’s height)/2. [3]
By doing this, doctors can track a child's growth over time and monitor how a child is growing in relation to other children. There are different charts for boys and girls because their growth rates and patterns differ. For both boys and girls there are two sets of charts: one for infants ages 0 to 36 months and another for ages 2 and above.
