The red lines show "percentiles".  The thick red line in the middle is the 50^th percentile, which indicates that 50% of the population of Men have Height (or stature) taller than the line, and 50% are shorter.  Similarly, the lowest red line, the 5^th percentile line, indicates the Height where only 5% of the male population is shorter.

Charts for pediatric boys height and weight are available here.  These are also interesting, because they not only show the average height of children, they also show that the tendency to develop obesity in adult life often begins in childhood.

The data source for this chart is the NHANES III  survey, conducted in America during 1988 to 1994.
