Question 3

what's a healthy weight for height and age - 5 year old girl?

Accepted Answer

Trend: Healthy growth in a child is when they gain age appropriate cm/inches and weight on an annualized basis. Bmi and waist circumference (more important) help to determine if the proportions are within age appropriate goals. Please see this website: http://www.Cdc.Gov/growthcharts/charts.Htm.

Question 4

i am 16.5 year old boy. my weight is 53kg .. my height is 5 feet 4 inches.  i want to increase my height . please suggest me about height iam so worry?

Accepted Answer

Endocrine: Recently growth hormone has been approved for use in pediatric patients with growth potential and short stature. You need to consult with your pediatrician to see bone age--- ie wrist x ray will reveal that. If the growth plates not fused yet--get referral to a pediatric endocrinologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 5

what can i expect at an endocrinologist appointment for a 5 year old who isn't gaining height/weight? already did blood tests and x-ray of hand.

Accepted Answer

Test results: The doctor should review the test results and x-rays with you and your child. Depending on the results, they may recommend therapy with growth or other hormones or just watchful waiting/close followup. It depends on the growth of your child to this point and results

Question 6

what is the average height & weight for a 5 yr old?

Accepted Answer

Wow!Almost anything!: Huge range of normal sizes for 5-yr old boys...Go to cdc website @ www.Cdc.Gov; type 'growth charts'; in the search box at the right upper corner of this webpage; click thru the menus until see boys charts geared for age5. Plot your son. He is probably normal.  Average is the 50th percentile, but normal ranges from 5-95 percentile.

Question 7

my son has a blood pressure of 150/111, he is twenty five years old. what can we do to help with his headache? his height is 5'6, his weighs 218lbs.

Accepted Answer

Have : Have you repeated the blood pressure to make sure the value you got was accurate?  
If this is a severe headache, i recomend that you take him to the emergency room. I can not tell by reading this if he has chronic hypertension. I don't know if his blood pressure is causing his headache or if his headache is so severe, that it is causing his blood pressure to rise. In general  blood pressure reading of 180 or higher for the top number (systolic pressure) and 110 on the bottom or higher (diastolic pressure) is pretty significant.  Since there isn't much information here, i recommend a prudent approach and that you take him to the emergency room so that he can be checked out.

Question 8

my five years old girl looks skiny and loses weight easily too.is there anyway  to improve the situation?

Accepted Answer

Better nutrition: First, check a growth chart. She may be normal. If her weight is too low for her height, improve her calorie intake. She should drink whole milk and avoid low calorie/empty calorie drinks such as soda and juice. There are nutritional supplements but it is best to give her a well balanced diet.

Question 9

iam 16.5 year old but iam look like 12 or 13 years boy ..my height is 5'4.5 does my height increase further ..

Accepted Answer

Maybe. Maybe not.: Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height. One can ask the pediatrician about height, at a check-up or an extra office visit.

Question 10

if a 12.5 year old girl is about 152cm in height. what would be the estimated height of her when she stopped growing?

Accepted Answer

Predicting height: There are growth charts you can use https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;url=http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/set2/chart-04.pdf&amp;q=weight%20for%20age%20percentile%20girl&amp;ved=0CB4QFjAAahUKEwio2-CesOHIAhUDpR4KHfD7D70&amp;usg=AFQjCNEWiHKY3L90EXrPTWIsxvAhY27xeg&amp;sig2=Yld0byq5BFZY78YiZWbbJg
