At 13, most teenagers are well into puberty and may be in the middle of or about to embark on growth spurts. Their height and weight may go through many changes in their teen years.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the average height for a 13-year-old girl is 5'1 3/4". Girls' normal height can range from 4'11 1/4" at the 10th percentile to 5' 5 3/4" at the 90th percentile.
I would definitely ask your pediatrician to have her seen by a pediatric endocrinologist, it may indeed be early puberty, the dheas is a hormone that the adrenal gland makes and is a sign of early but almost normal variation of the adrenal gland maturation process that can occur in this age range in some kids.
Please verify your height. Are you 57" or 5'7".
Ideal weight is not based on age, alone. It's based on a calculation of current height, weight, activity level and age....... I can help you do that, if you like.
His weight is just above the 5th percentile and his height is on the 10th percentile for his age. His is within the growth chart which indicates he is normal for his age. He is going into puberty and will be growing. Males can grow until the early 20's. Genetics plays a part in stature. Are the males in the family on the smaller side?
A normal weight can be anywhere from 92 pounds to 123 pounds for the height of 4'11" according to the BMI for that height.
She is now 10 years old and and has been taking it for about 7 months. She is very short and did not need her period to start and then loose out on precious growing time. My question is this..she has put on 15 lbs since she has started the lupron and is wearing a size 16 dress in girls. She weighs 95 and is 4 feet 5 inches. The doctor is hoping to get her to 4 feet 11 inches by delaying her puberty. Her biological mother is 4 feet 10.
She does not seem to gain weight/height as per her age. She had congenital defects and had two major surgeries when she was 2 days & 3 months old. She had remained skinny from the beginning but while I see her friends/cousins of her age bigger in size, I really get worried. She is completely fine and active after the surgeries. I would like to know if there is any way (with the proper diet) that can make her gain her height and weight.
hello Doctor,
I recently checked out my son's weight and height. he is 9.8 kgs and 72cms height. is his height and weight normal for his age. he is exactly 1 year 4 months completed.
His weight is between the 10-5th percentile and his height is just below the 5th percentile for his age. He is not underweight (he is still in the normal range of the Growth Chart) and his height maybe due to genetics. Are there males in the family that have small stature? Based on his weight / age, he should be consuming approximately 1800 calories per day as recommended the following: Fruits (limit fruit juices) = 1.5 cups; Vegetables 2.
I am both your age and height, yet i am 150 pounds. My life would be amazing if i had your weight. Anyway, you have a normal BMI, you are NOT fat. No, not at all. But if you must lose weight, since you desire it, just result to healthy eating and exercise. Eat properly, it is said that if you starve yourself you'll actually end up putting on even more weight. But you must be committed. I have tried eating properly and exercising but end up blowing it a few days later.
under weight for his age (just under the 10th percentile weight for age) and his height is normal for his age. You can make him milkshakes with Soy milk (has no milk products in it) and frozen fruit which has extra calories and protein. Soy products are a good substitute. Thank you for your question.
I'm a 16 year old girl and I'm pretty tall for my age and for a girl-- 6 feet tall. I've always told myself that my height is what makes my weight so high, but recently, I've come to terms with knowing that my health isn't a problem right now, but if I don't get healthier it will be one. I need tips on how to lose some weight. I'm open to activities to lose weight, but few I can do, because of my joints. So, if anyone has any ideas, please give me some.
That depends on your frame size, as well as your age.
Your frame size is how large your bones are. Here's a bit of height weight chart, that pertains to your height, but only if you are an adult female. If you're not an adult, the figures would be different.
Adrenarche is what you are talking about, the adrenal gland kicks in a little earlier than normal giving us some expression of normal but annoying male hormones causing body odor, pubertal hair growth and some advancement of bone maturity, however, obesity itself can advance the bones as well and I would seriously look at the weight to be sure that the weight is controlled well, rapid weight gain and increased insulin production can also stimulate bone maturation and also adrenarche is influenc
For your height and weight you only need to gain about 15 lbs. and you can do that by gaining lean body muscle and consuming >2200 calories per day. You did not mention if you exercise or not. By lifting weights, at a gym or at home you would be building lean body muscle weight. If you do not have a weight set, a cheap substitute is detergent bottles. Fill them with water and then use them as weights. You have to make sure you are eating enough food each day to maintain and gain weight.
There are height and weight ranges for children which is indicated on Growth Charts. His height is normal, however, his weight is below the Growth chart for his age. You stated he is teething which some children do not feel well from it. Their appetite can decrease. Suggest you feed him small meals 5-6 times a day to help increase his weight and maybe it will decrease his ‘stomach aches’, as you stated.
