WEIGHT PERCENTILE
Weight Percentile reflects body weight relative to age and gender, and is influenced by recent
changes in growth, health, or nutritional status.
The percentile compares a child’s weight to
other children and indicates what percentage of children of the same age and gender weigh
less than the child being weighed.
For example, a 30 month old boy who is in the 30
th
weight percentile weighs more than 30% of
other children his age, while 70% of children weigh more. This usually means he is smaller
than average, but may not indicate any health problems. Concerns should be referred to a
professional healthcare provider.
