Head Circumference Percentile Calculator
Result
Understanding the Results
Our calculator provides the percentile of the head circumference of an individual. For example, for a female of 1 year and a head circumference of 46 cm the percentile is 77.14. This means that this kid has a head bigger than the 77% of the population with the same age.
About our Model
This model provides updated growing curves for head circumference from newborn up to 21 years.
The model assumes that, for each age group, head circumferences are gaussian distributed.
The model is based on the article

About GATHER Foundation
GATHER Foundation is Global Alliance Towards Harmonized E-health Records for Precision Medicine in Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDDs).
As a recently established initiative, GATHER Foundation aims to promote and support the generation of minimum requirement frameworks for the curation and collection of harmonized clinical, genetic and molecular data in the field of NDDs.
One of the major challenges of this harmonization process is that there are currently no clear standards regarding clinical data collection for NDD patients.
Our ultimate goal at GATHER Foundation is to instate an era of precision medicine for patients with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). GATHER Foundation aims to create a strategic, non-for-profit point of contact to facilitate data sharing across academic and clinical centers.
