The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) published data on the body dimensions of pediatric patients in 2000. This included data on the body weight for height of boys aged from 0 to 36 months.
Equations derived in JMP
predicted weight in kilograms =
= (A * ((height in cm)^3)) + (B * ((height in cm)^2)) + (C * (height in cm)) + D
NOTE: The tables should be validated prior to clinical use.
