Patient's question:
The boy is 6.5 years old, 124 cm tall, and weighs 26 kg. Is this normal? Regarding past treatment history and effectiveness: Two years ago, the check-up results were normal.Doctor's answer:
The weight of a six-year-old boy should be between 10.61 and 20.64 kilograms, and his height should be between 86.3 and 109.4 centimeters. The height and weight of each child vary individually. As long as a child's height and weight are within the normal range, there is no need to force him or her to exceed the average for the same age. If the average for normal or larger children is two standard deviations, then it is abnormal. It is necessary to consider whether the child's development is delayed or accelerated growth, and further medical examination should be conducted.
