Downloadable! zscore06 calculates anthropometric z-scores using the 2006 WHO child growth standards. Lenght/heigh-for-age, weight-for-height, BMI-for-age and weight-for-age Z-scores are calculated for children 0 to 5 years of age. If the age, height or weight values are outside the range of reference values, a value of 99 is given for the corresponding z-score(s). In contrast to the growth chart, which shows her early weight to be going up and up, the z-score plotting shows her weight to accelerate abruptly beginning at birth, then stabilize at about + 3.0 to 3.5 SD, or z-score, by age 2 months. Percentile conversion from Z-Score is done by table look-up in the standard Normal Table. Percentiles are provided for Z Scores between -3.09 and 3.09. Values beyond these extremes return percentiles of 0.1 and 99.9 respectively. Infant Weight for Age. National health and nutrition survey (NHANES), CDC/National Center for Health Statistics. *Weight percentile curves start at age 0 months; other "birth to 3 years of age" growth curves start at 1 month of age. For individuals aged 2-20 years: Weight; Height; What is a z-score? A z-score is a measure of how an individual relates to the average value for the reference population. A z-score has a direct relationship to percentiles. The corresponding Z-scores at age (x) can be obtained from Eq. , WHO Child Growth Standards based on length/height, weight and age. Acta Paediatr. Suppl. 450, 76-85. Stunting is defined as the children with height-for-age Z-score (HAZ) <−2SD and severe stunting is defined as the children with HAZ <−3SD. Global acute malnutrition (GAM) or wasting is defined as the children with weight-for-height Z-score (WHZ) <−2SD and/or MUAC <125 mm and/or presence of bilateral pitting edema. .
