The greatest circumference of the head, which corresponds to the plane of the occipitofrontal diameter, averages 34.5 cm (13.6 in), a size too large to fit through the pelvis without flexion. The smallest circumference, corresponding to the plane of the suboccipitobregmatic diameter, is 32 cm (13 in).
Reference charts for adult head circumference also generally feature homogeneous samples and fail to take height and weight into account. [6] One study in the United States estimated the average human head circumference to be 57 centimetres (22 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) in males and 55 centimetres (21 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) in females.
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.

When 16-month-old Jackson Taylor got in a car accident that decapitated his head, doctors didn't know if he would survive. Fortunately, they were able to reattach his head in a miracle surgery.
Pediatric growth is measured in height or length, head circumference (used from 0–2 years of age), weight, [3] and BMI (used starting at 2 years of age). [4] It is determined by multiple factors including genetic, environmental, hormonal, nutritional and psychosocial factors.
