Question 1

Which growth standard does this calculator use?

Accepted Answer

It uses the WHO Child Growth Standards, the reference recommended for children up to 5 years, covering weight-for-age, length/height-for-age and weight-for-height.

Question 2

What age range does this cover?

Accepted Answer

Birth up to 5 completed years. Age can be entered as date of birth, completed weeks (0-13), completed months (0-59), or completed years and months.

Question 3

What if I only have the child's weight, not height?

Accepted Answer

Leave height blank and the calculator will show only weight-for-age. Weight-for-height needs both weight and height, so it is skipped when either is missing.

Question 4

Why does it ask if length or height was measured?

Accepted Answer

Under 2 years, WHO standards use recumbent length; from 2 years, standing height. The calculator selects the correct WHO table automatically from the child's age.
