Step 1: Find Growth Parameters for Height Using CDC data for the selected height and sex, we find: • 50th Centile Weight (M): kg • 5th Centile Weight (P5): kg
Step 2: Calculate Standard Deviation (SD) Formula: (M - P5) / 1.8 Calculation: ( - ) / 1.8 =
(M - P5) / 1.8
( - ) / 1.8 =
Step 3: Calculate Z-Score Formula: (Observed Weight - M) / SD Calculation: ( - ) / =
(Observed Weight - M) / SD
( - ) / =
