What is Average Height?
During his first year of life, your baby grows up to 10 inches in length. However, his early size isn't very predictive of his final height or weight. He'll add about five inches during his second year, and then starting at age 3, he'll grow about 2.5 inches per year until a final growth spurt kicks in during puberty.
Here are the average heights for each gender:
Average Female Height: Females reach their adult height around age 15, and the average girl height is 5'4" in America.
Average Male Height: Boys don't top out until 16 or 17, with the average male height being 5'9".
A school-age child who falls below the 5th percentile for height is considered to be of "short stature," a clinical term meaning he's shorter than 95 percent of kids his age and gender. On the other hand, a child who's in the 95th percentile is taller than all but a few of her peers. Average height is anywhere between the 40th and 60th percentiles.
Many children who are short for their age will be normal in height as adults and have no disorder other than some delay in the timing of their growth. However, there are a variety of medical conditions that can also stunt growth and result in short stature. These include chronic illness affecting the heart, lungs, intestines or kidneys; inadequate nutrition; significant psychosocial stress; and genetic disorders like Turner's syndrome.
