Pediatric Growth Percentile

One entry gives height-for-age, weight-for-age, and BMI-for-age percentiles for children aged 6–19 y, with charts overlaying the WHO 2007 or CDC 2000 percentile curves.

Reference

WHO is the international standard (used in India); CDC is common in US pediatric practice. Weight-for-age uses CDC-only because WHO does not publish expanded LMS tables for weight-for-age.

Height-for-age
Weight-for-age (CDC only)
BMI-for-age
