Growth trajectories
4 calculators · multiple measurements of one child over time
Here you will find growth charts for several measurements of a child over time: the longitudinal growth chart for each reference curve, the WHO 0–5-year growth chart based on the WHO Child Growth Standards 2006, and the CDC 2000 growth charts for 0–36 months and 2–20 years. They show the z-score trajectory and percentile crossing and are intended for assessing a child's development over several measurements. For the WHO charts, preterm infants are age-corrected up to 24 months; interactive details appear when hovering over the points. Each calculator states its formula and sources.

Frequently asked questions
How do I plot several measurements of a child on one growth chart?
The longitudinal growth chart accepts any number of measurements (date or age, measured value) of a child and plots them on a selectable reference curve, with z-score trajectory, percentile crossing and interactive details when hovering over the points.
Is there a WHO growth chart with age correction for preterm infants?
The WHO 0–5-year growth chart shows weight, length/height, head circumference and BMI on the WHO Child Growth Standards 2006 with z-score trajectory as well as weight development between measurements. Preterm infants are age-corrected up to 24 months.
