Symbols for evaluating children's height and weight

In the process of baby's growth and development, whether the height and weight reach the standard is undoubtedly one of the most concerned issues for parents. Height and weight can help parents judge whether the baby's growth and development are normal, and whether there are problems related to growth and development such as malnutrition, overweight or obesity. Therefore, regular monitoring and scientific evaluation of height and weight are particularly important! Now, let's talk about how to evaluate the height and weight of children.

What growth and development indicators are used to evaluate?

It is suggested to use age-specific height, age-specific weight and age-specific body mass index (body mass index) to evaluate growth and development. Among them, the age-specific body mass index (BMI) is usually the standard index used to judge children's obesity.

Where: body mass index = weight (kg)/(square of height (m)).

What kind of scoring method is used?

The score of height and weight usually includes z score and percentile. At present, Z-scoring method is widely used in the world, and Z-scoring method is recommended.

Z-score method, also called standard deviation (SD) ratio method, first determines an intermediate value (0SD), and then evaluates the calculated standard deviation from the intermediate value.

How to evaluate?

It is suggested to combine "current measurement point evaluation" and "drawing growth curve evaluation" for comprehensive evaluation. The fluctuation range of the height of boys and girls is listed in detail.

The baby's height is almost in the above range. Generally no problem. If it grows too fast, it is easy to lack calcium. If there is too much difference, it is recommended to check it.
