- Find your child's height on the left side, and read horizontally across until you reach the vertical line for your child's age. Then see where that point is among the percentile lines. For example, a girl 60 inches (152 cm) tall and 12 years old is just above the 50% percentile.

What is an adult height predictor chart?
What does a height in the shaded area below the 0.4th centile mean? This chart provides some extra guidance about the lower limit (0.4th centile) for height in girls 8-13 years. If a plot falls within the shaded area on the height chart between 8 and 13 years, pubertal assessment will be required and mid-parental centile should be assessed.

LifeMeasure's length charts for infant girls and female height charts for all ages is the easy way to track and compare growth trends.
It includes guidance on the onset and progression of puberty, a BMI centile lookup, an adult height predictor and a mid parental height comparator. These and all our growth charts are based on WHO Child Growth Standards, which describe the optimal growth for healthy, breastfed children.

0-4 years
For babies born at term (>/= 37 weeks), plot each measurement on the relevant chart by drawing a small dot where a vertical line through the child’s age crosses a horizontal line through the measured value – height/length, weight orhead circumference(see Fig. 1 below). Plot birth weight/length/head circumference at age 0.
For pre-term infants
If <32 weeks gestation – the NICM chartshould be used. If >32 weeks and before 37 weeks, plot all measurements in the preterm section until 42 weeks gestation. Then plot on the 0-1-year chart using gestational correctionas shown in Fig. 2 (below). Gestational correction: plot measurements at the child’s actual age, then draw a line back the number of weeks the infant was preterm. Mark the spot with an arrow: this is child’s gestationally corrected centile. This should continue until at least...
2-18 years
Plot each measurement on the relevant chart by drawing asmall dot where a vertical line through the child’s age crosses a horizontal line through the measured value – height orweight(see Fig. 1 below).
Growth charts indicate: 1. A child’s size compared with children of the same age and maturity who have shown optimal growth. 2. How quickly a child is growing. Centile lines show the expected range of weights and heights (or lengths). They describe the number of children expected to be BELOW that line (i.e. 50% below the 50th, 91% below the 91st): ...
Mid-parental centile
The mid-parental centile is the average adult height centile to be expected for all children of these particular parents. The scale is located on the right-hand side of the chart (Fig. 3).
Adult height predictor chart
The adult height predictor chart (Fig. 4) allows for a prediction of the child’s adult height based on their current height (adjusted to allow for very tall and short children to be less extreme as adults).
The 2-18 years growth chart contains puberty lines from age 8 to 18 years old for girls and 9 to 18 years old for boys. These lines indicate the normal age limits for the phases of puberty.
The growth charts also provide an opportunity to calculate the child’s BMIfrom the age of 2. Both 0-4 years (boys & girls) and 2-18 years (boys & girls)charts provide a simple graph to convert the child’s weight centile and height centile to their BMI centile.
The Down Syndrome Medical Interest Group (DSMIG) and RCPCH have developed cross-sectional growth charts for boys and girls with Down syndrome for use from term to 18 years old. Reasons for using these charts include: 1. Short stature is a recognised characteristic of most people with Down syndrome – the average height at most ages is around the 2nd...

Available from: [LINK].Once your child is between 2 and 4 years old, you can use a height measurement to find their height centile. You can then put this on the ‘Adult Height Predictor’ on the height chart page in your Personal Child Health Record to get an idea of how tall your child will be. This reading is only accurate to within 6cm (2½”).

This chart shows the patterns of height (length) and weight for girls from 2 to 20 years old. How to read the percentile chart. The top set of curved lines shows length percentiles. For example, the top curved line shows the 95% percentile, which means that 95% of children are at or under that height.
