A growth chart is used by pediatricians and other health care providers to follow a child's growth over time. Growth charts have been constructed by observing the growth of large numbers of healthy children over time. The height, weight, and head circumference of a child can be compared to the expected parameters of children of the same age and ...

the ratio of hip circumference to shoulder circumference varies by biological sex: the average ratio for women is 1:1.03, for men it is 1:1.18. [9] legs (floor to crotch, which are typically three-and-a-half to four heads long; arms about three heads long; hands are as long as the face. [10]

NICE have proposed the same boundary values for children of 5 years and over. [11] Boundary values were first suggested for WHtR in 1996 to reflect health implications and were portrayed on a simple chart of waist circumference against height. The boundary value of WHtR = 0.4 was suggested to indicate the start of the 'OK' range. The 0.5 ...
While numerous charts detailing head sizes in infants and children exist, most do not measure average head circumference past the age of 21. 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 ...
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.
The waist–hip ratio or waist-to-hip ratio ( WHR) is the dimensionless ratio of the circumference of the waist to that of the hips . This is calculated as waist measurement divided by hip measurement ( W⁄H ). For example, a person with a 75 cm waist and 95 cm hips (or a 30-inch waist and 38-inch hips) has WHR of about 0.79.
