Tanner图表上头围的参考范围不超过16岁。在这项研究中，对英国两个中心的354名成年人的头围和身高进行了测量。根据这些测量构建的百分位数图表显示，成年人的头围与身高有关。平均身高的男性的平均头围超过了16岁男性的第97个百分位数。因此，儿科图表不适合用于成年男性。
Reference range for head circumference on the Tanner charts do not go beyond age 16. In this study the head circumference and heights of 354 adults in two British centres were measured. The centile charts constructed from these measurements show that adult head circumference is related to height. The mean head circumference of a male of average height is above the 97th centile for a 16 year old on the Tanner charts. The paediatric charts are therefore inappropriate for use in adult males.
