Patient's question:
My child has always been called short by the neighbors. Compared to peers, I don't feel the difference is very large. I want to confirm this, so yesterday I took my child to a health examination center to do some tests related to this. The results showed that my child's height and weight are indeed not up to standard. I would like to know the specific calculation method for this.What kind of help I need: What are the standard height and weight for a 6-year-old child?
Doctor's answer:
The average birth weight of a normal newborn is 3 kilograms. In the first six months after birth, growth is relatively rapid, with an average increase of 0.7 kilograms per month. In the second half of the first year, growth slows down, with an average increase of 0.5 kilograms per month. At one year old, the weight is 10.2 kilograms. By two years old, the growth is approximately four times the birth weight. After two years, the average annual growth is 2 kilograms. The formula for calculating weight between the ages of 2 and 12 is: weight = (age - 2) 28 kilograms.
