Hello, the average height for a 15-year-old boy is approximately 169.8 cm; a height below 157.5 cm is considered short stature. The average weight is about 57.8 kg. If your child’s height and weight fall below these standards, encourage regular physical activity and adjust their diet appropriately—particularly by increasing intake of protein-rich foods such as eggs, lean meat, and milk—to ensure adequate nutritional support for healthy growth.
