The average height of a 14-year-old girl ranges from 59 to 67.5 inches.
Based on data from Children's Wisconsin, here's a more detailed look at the typical height and weight ranges for adolescent girls:
Height and Weight Ranges for Adolescent Girls
| Age | Height (inches) | Weight (pounds) |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | 55 to 64 | 68 to 136 |
| 14 | 59 to 67.5 | 84 to 160 |
| 16 | 60 to 68 | 94 to 172 |
| 18 | 60 to 68.5 | 100 to 178 |
As you can see from the table, a 14-year-old girl's height can vary significantly, but generally falls within the 59 to 67.5 inch range. It's important to remember that these are just average ranges, and individual growth rates can differ based on genetics, nutrition, and other factors.
Key things to note regarding the data:
- Individual Variation: Height and weight are very individual. These ranges provide guidelines but aren't absolute measures of health.
- Growth Spurts: Growth spurts occur differently for everyone, and there is no set timeline. Some girls might experience a rapid increase in height earlier or later than the ages listed.
- Factors Influencing Height: Genetics and nutrition are big factors impacting a girl's final height.
It's important to consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns about a child’s growth. They can provide personalized advice and assessments.
