Children have calibrated height or weight at different ages. Careful parents will start recording from the day the child is born. The standard values for boys and girls are not the same. Relatively speaking, boys grow faster than girls. Of course, psychologically, the opposite is true. Girls mature earlier. So what is the standard height and weight chart for 10-year-old girls? The formula can be used to calculate whether the child is developing normally. Height and weight are important indicators to measure whether children's growth and development are normal. The standard calculation formula for normal height and weight of children is introduced as follows: Standard measurement formula for infant weight: Weight at 1-6 months (kg) = birth weight (or 3 kg) + age in months × 0.6 (kg) Weight from 7 to 12 months (kg) = birth weight (or 3 kg) + age in months × 0.5 (kg) 2-10 years old weight (kg) = age × 2 + 7 (or 8) Standard growth rules for infants and young children's height: The average height of a full-term baby is 50 cm. It increases by about 25 cm in the first year after birth, so it is about 75 cm at one year old. Thereafter, it increases by an average of about 5 cm each year. Therefore, the height (cm) of a child aged 2-12 years old = age × 5 + 75 (cm). Anyone whose height exceeds the standard by 10% or is less than 10% is considered abnormal. Factors that affect your baby's height 1. Physical nutrition Stature is the sum of the head, spine and lower limbs. It is an important indicator of bone growth, especially long bone growth. When the baby's nutrition cannot meet the needs of bone growth, the rate of height growth will slow down. 2. Sleep quality Growth hormone secreted by the pituitary gland is an important hormone that stimulates the baby's growth. The secretion of human growth hormone is unbalanced within 24 hours a day, and its secretion is higher during sleep than when awake. Lack of sleep will affect your baby's growth. 3. Do you exercise regularly? Exercise can promote blood circulation, improve bone nutrition, accelerate bone growth, make bones dense, and promote height growth. Babies under 3-4 months old should lie on their stomachs several times a day to promote whole-body activities, and should develop basic abilities such as turning over, crawling, standing, and walking as they grow older. 4. Physical illness Many diseases can affect the baby's height growth. Generally, acute diseases only affect weight, while chronic diseases can affect height. If, after long-term measurement and observation, the baby's height is always more than 10% lower than the average height of children of the same age, it is called growth retardation; if it is more than 30% lower, it is abnormal and should be diagnosed and treated in time. 5. Genetics and Gender It is reported that the height of a considerable number of babies is affected by genetics. In terms of gender, boys are generally taller than girls of the same age. 6. Living environment, social culture, and climate region According to a survey, babies in northern my country are taller than those in southern China. Babies living in areas with high living environment and social and cultural levels tend to grow taller. |
