Synopsis: The height-to-weight chart for teenage boys aged 13 to 20 years provides valuable insights into the average physical development of male adolescents. This resource is particularly useful for parents, healthcare providers, and teenagers themselves to understand typical growth patterns during this crucial period of rapid change. The chart offers a quick reference for average weight and height measurements at each age, presented in both metric and imperial units for easy comprehension. While it's important to note that individual variations are normal and this data should not be used as a strict benchmark, the chart serves as a helpful guide to track general growth trends and identify potential deviations that may warrant further attention. Additionally, the accompanying information contextualizes the data, explaining factors like growth spurts and puberty that influence these measurements, making it a comprehensive tool for understanding teenage male physical development - Disabled World (DW).

Introduction

The weight-to-height ratio measurement in teenage males serves as just a single factor in assessing whether their weight aligns with a healthy average for their height. However, this measurement does not consider individual variations in body types and muscle mass. Its primary function is to provide a recommended range of body weight that is considered ideal for male teenagers.

As boys generally start puberty around age 11 to 12 and end around 16 to 17, teenage boys will often have growth spurts during their growing years in which your body will grow faster than at any other time in your life. During this period, it is possible to gain and lose weight rapidly and add inches to your height - seemingly overnight. Growth not only involves the length and weight of your body, but also includes internal growth and development.

NOTE: If you are older than 20 you will need to refer to our Adults Height to Weight Chart.

Every teenage male is different in how they mature and grow during their teen years. Dieting for male teenagers is not recommended, as quite often you will find boys will simply "grow out" of their "baby fat" as they mature into young adults. Typically, by the time they reach 18 years of age, the height of a teen boy has approximately doubled compared to when they were 2 years old.
