This web site presents growth reference data for children and adolescents, 5-19 years (or 61-228 months).
The WHO Reference 2007 is a reconstruction of the 1977 National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)/WHO reference. It uses the original NCHS data set supplemented with data from the WHO child growth standards sample for under-fives. To develop this reference the same statistical methodology was used as in the construction of the WHO standards.
This reference complements the WHO child growth standards for 0-60 months published in April 2006 (see link on right column).
