A member asked:

The listed measurements plot to a 25% weight, 55% height and 90%head circumference on standardized female growth charts. Growth parameters are best assessed over time, using several years worth of data rather than a single point in time. A review of this data should be available in the kids health record.

Her height is 53rd percentile, weight is 15th percentile, and head circumference is 90th percentile. Her body mass index (BMI) is 13.4, which tells us how much she weighs relative to other girls her age and height; she falls in the 5th percentile. Although her height is appropriate for her age, her weight puts her dangerously close to underweight. Please follow up with your Pediatrician.
