Providing reference values in the form of percentiles for the assessment of pediatric growth is of great practical importance. Extreme centiles are particularly important in the diagnostic process. In Sanlıurfa, 7655 children from 0-8 years of age were examined by transverse anthropometric measurements of height and weight. By statistical processing of results, percentiles of body height and weight were established. These reference values present a base for producing nomogram of growth, development and state of nourishment in infants and children in our area.
