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.
English: The map above shows the average (mean) height of a female 19-year-old in 2019 in each country and territory in the world for which data is available. The source of the data is a pooled analysis of 2,181 measurement-based scientific studies covering over 65 Million participants from 1985 to 2019.
The average height of 19-year-old Dutch orphans in 1865 was 160 cm (5 ft 3 in). [77] From 1830 to 1857, the average height of a Dutch person decreased, even while Dutch real GNP per capita was growing at an average rate of more than 0.5% per year. The worst decline was in urban areas that in 1847, the urban height penalty was 2.5 cm (1.0 in).
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. Children with failure to thrive usually have a weight that is below the 3rd or 5th percentile for their age and a declining growth velocity (meaning they are not gaining weight as expected).
English: :Average height of women by year of birth Mean height of adult women by year of birth. Data for the latest cohort (the year 1996) is therefore the mean height of women aged 18 in 2014.
The average height of an American woman is roughly between 5 ft 4 in (1.63 m) and 5 ft 5 in (1.65 m). In the UK and throughout Europe the average height of a woman is around 5 ft 4 in (1.63 m) to 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m). [4]
