p9

When talking about heights and weights, they're usually compared to others using the percentile and standard deviation (or z-score), which are what I assume 'p' and 'DE' refer to here. So this person would be on the 9th percentile. I would just leave it as p9 if you're going to go with -1.35 SD too.
