Question 2

how do i read a growth chart?

Accepted Answer

Like a map: The growth chart is read like a map. When you look for a spot on the map, you need 2 reference points: the x axis (horizontal line at the bottom) and the y axis (vertical line on the left side of the page). So, find your child's age at the bottom, and follow it up till it coincides with the height on the left side of the page. That meeting point tells you where your child falls compared to others.

Question 3

is a growth chart always correct?

Accepted Answer

Correct Measurement?: Exellent question! the problem isn't the growth chart, it is the quality of the measurement plotted onto the growth chart. When a point on a growth chart doesn't seem right, the measurement should be taken again. It is so easy to make measurement mistakes in length and height depending on how the measurement is taken and whether the child is moving around. Remember to take the shoes off!

Question 10

what age to weight to height chart is considered accurate by doctos?

Accepted Answer

The BMI chart: Age is only used for pediatric/youg adults, often calculated to age 18 or so. After this point, we only use height and wt to determine healthy vs not-healthy-wt ranges for both men and women. It is a rough estimate and provide you a guide to keep "ideal body wt" for better health. If you have specific concern about your wt/height vs age (we shrink in height with age), consult doc. Good luck.
