Newborn Growth Percentile Calculator

Not needed for the weight-for-length and weight-for-stature charts. The charts run to 240 months (20 years).
Recumbent length under 2 years, standing height from 2 years. Centimetres, or inches in US units.
Kilograms, or pounds in US units.
Occipitofrontal circumference in centimetres, or inches in US units.
Only needed if you want a BMI-for-age percentile without entering height and weight.

Interpretation
Within the typical range, at percentile 84.1.
Worked out from CDC 2000 Growth Charts - percentile data files with LMS parameters and 5 other sources.
A growth percentile is a screening number, not a diagnosis. Serial measurements plotted over time, taken with calibrated equipment, are what a clinician interprets. Discuss any concern with your paediatric provider.

How this is worked out

4 steps
  1. Chart: WHO Weight-for-age, 0 to 1856 days (girls).
  2. Reference parameters at 730 days: L = -0.294, M = 11.4741, S = 0.12389.
  3. z = ((X/M)^L - 1)/(L*S) = ((13.018/11.4741)^-0.294 - 1)/(-0.294 x 0.12389) = 1.000296
  4. Percentile = Phi(z) x 100 = 84.14%.
