What these numbers imply
The figures below are not published directly by the CDC. Each one is calculated from the official weight-for-age tables so that this page answers questions the raw dataset leaves open. Values differ for every age and sex.
| Measure | Value | How it was derived |
|---|---|---|
| Weight gain over the next 12 months | +2.3 kg | The 50th percentile rises from 18.0 kg to 20.3 kg over the following year. Derived from adjacent rows of the same CDC table. |
| Spread between 3rd and 97th percentile | 10.6 kg | At this age the middle 94% of girls fall between 14.3 kg and 24.9 kg. Weight varies far more than height at the same age. |
| Share of the age-20 median reached | 31.0% | The 50th percentile here is 18.0 kg; the CDC table ends at age 20 with a 50th percentile of 58.2 kg. |
| Difference from boys at the same age | -0.5 kg | The 50th percentile for girls is 0.5 kg lighter than that for boys at this age. |
| Median height and resulting BMI | 108.0 cm · BMI 15.5 | Combining the 50th percentile of weight (18.0 kg) with the 50th percentile of stature (108.0 cm) from the CDC weight-for-age and stature-for-age tables. |
