Find authoritative child growth charts and learn why growth percentiles need age-specific reference data.

How the calculation works
A valid growth percentile needs an age- and sex-specific reference dataset, measurement method and an appropriate z-score calculation.
Worked example
Use WHO child growth standards for birth to five years and the appropriate older-child reference, with a clinician interpreting growth over time.
