Determination of median weight for length for a boy who weighs 9 kg and is 78 cm long
To determine the median weight for length, plot the child on the weight-for-length curve (point A). Draw a vertical line to the 50th percentile curve (point B). Draw a horizontal line to the weight scale (point C). In the above example, the child weighs 9 kg and has a length of 78 cm. The median weight for a length of 78 cm is 10.1 kg.
