Body Weight: Males, Age 5

What these numbers mean

A value around 20.5 kg (45.2 lb) is typical (50th percentile) for boys in this age group. The middle 50% of the reference population fall between about 18.2 kg (40.1 lb) and 22.9 kg (50.5 lb); values below or above that central range sit in the lower or upper half of the distribution.

Ages 20 and over are measured US population percentiles from NHANES 2021-2023. Ages 2 to 19 are from NHANES 2015-2018, by single year of age at examination, with 114 to 249 children measured per age and sex. Because weight alone does not account for height, percentile position is not a healthy-weight category.
