Familial short stature is indicative when one or both parents are of a short stature, and the height and weight percentiles are under the 5 percentile threshold. [7] The child will be concordant with the mean parental height, and the bone age should be normal. Constitutional growth delays are marked by low height and weight percentiles as early ...
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). Recently it has come to light that current growth charts for infants under 24 months overstate the expected weight of babies and lead to potentially obese ...
The 25th percentile is also known as the first quartile (Q 1), the 50th percentile as the median or second quartile (Q 2), and the 75th percentile as the third quartile (Q 3). For example, the 50th percentile (median) is the score below (or at or below , depending on the definition) which 50% of the scores in the distribution are found.
The diagnosis of FTT relies on plotting the child's height and weight on a validated growth chart, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) growth charts [62] for children younger than two years old or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth charts [63] for patients between the ages of two and twenty years old.

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]

Below are two tables which report the average adult human height by country or geographical region. With regard to the first table , original studies and sources should be consulted for details on methodology and the exact populations measured, surveyed, or considered.
Comparison of NCEs typically results in smaller effect sizes, and using the typical ranges for other effect sizes may result in interpretation errors. [3] Excel formula for conversion from Percentile to NCE: =21.06*NORMSINV(PR/100)+50, where PR is the percentile value. Excel formula for conversion from NCE to Percentile:
