WEIGHT PERCENTILE

Weight Percentile reflects body weight relative to age and gender, and is influenced by recent

changes in growth, health, or nutritional status. The percentile compares a child’s weight to

other children and indicates what percentage of children of the same age and gender weigh

less than the child being weighed.

For example, a 30 month old boy who is in the 30th weight percentile weighs more than 30% of

other children his age, while 70% of children weigh more. This usually means he is smaller

than average, but may not indicate any health problems. Concerns should be referred to a

professional healthcare provider.

WEIGHT PERCENTILE CALCULATION

1. In the weighing mode press WP / Esc.

2. Press + / T or - / Hold to adjust age form 1 to 36 months.

3. Press to confirm or press WP / Esc to return to weighing mode.
