Normal growth of boys according to their age: table, norms and pathology.

With the development of modern technologies, the mother can monitor the growth rate of her baby while he is in her womb. Visit to the ultrasound study for future parents is always completed by obtaining a protocol, which indicates the development parameters of the baby for a given period of time. One of the key indicators is the growth of boys or girls, it, as well as other values obtained with the help of ultrasound. Individual measurements are compared with the averaged data. It is this method (comparison with approximate norms) that will be used as the evaluation state of the development of the baby during its gestation and subsequent maturation.

In this article we will look at how future men should develop. The table of growth and weight of boys will clearly show what indicators are considered the norm for this or that age group, and also briefly tell you when to pay attention to the child 's too small or large growth.

What is the norm?

In our country, more recently, child development rates for various indicators have been revised. The Ministry of Health decided to abandon obsolete Soviet developments and arm themselves with modern data that correspond to global trends.

It is worth noting that WHO has an approved standard for each individual region of the planet, they are based on anthropological and genetic studies of the population living in a particular territory. People of different nationalities, existing in different climatic conditions, can not look all the same, especially the growth of boys and girls, their weight and pace of development are also different.

Comparing your child with the parameters of other kids, you should pay attention to many factors (genetics, health, lifestyle, physical activity, nutrition).

As you can see, the height and weight of the boys, given in the table, can have a significant spread. In any case, each child develops individually, and in case of shortage in certain parameters at one age after six months or a year the child can make a significant leap in physiological development or, conversely, suspend the rates of its growth.

Against the genes there is no reception?

The appearance of a person is laid on the genetic level even at the moment when the egg meets the spermatozoon and fertilization takes place. It is then that it becomes clear what sex the baby will be, what eyes, skin color, complexion he will have. However, this does not mean that the inherent nature originally, can not be adjusted or will remain unchanged throughout life.

Yes, eyes and hair, the skin tone can be changed through third-party interference, but blue eyes are such and will remain until old age. The growth of boys, their weight and composition are directly influenced by the way of life, the conditions in which they grow and develop. Low parents may well have a son above average height, especially not to dismiss the fact that genes are transmitted after several generations, and no child can be an exact copy of their biological mothers and fathers. It is unequivocally possible to assert that it is easier for a man to worsen his appearance and health than to improve it.

When is the abnormality bad?

If parents notice that their child is significantly behind peers, or vice versa (boys' growth, weight and overall development often overtake average statistical indicators) is an occasion to seek medical advice.

Before you look for geneticists and the best luminaries of the world's medicine, it's enough to make an appointment with a family doctor or a district pediatrician. In the medical chart of any child, whose health is observed by parents, there is evidence of the dynamics of his development, on their basis a qualified doctor can make certain conclusions about the growth rate of the child.

Problems can be observed in such cases:

• Hormonal bursts due to puberty;
• Violations of the level of "growth hormone";
• Delays in development;
• Complexities associated with abnormal intrauterine development;
• Genetic disorders.

Now you know what growth the boy should have at a certain age.
