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 30 th

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.

4. Press

+ / T or

- / Hold to adjust gender for male or female.

5. Press to confirm.

6. Place baby on scale. The weight will be shown, then the percentile. Weight and percentile display will cycle three times, then return to weighing mode.
