CDC Growth Charts

CDC Growth Charts are tools used by healthcare providers to track a child's growth over time, comparing their height, weight, and head size to typical patterns for their age and sex. These charts help assess whether a child's growth is on a healthy trajectory, identify potential nutritional or health issues early, and guide parent and doctor decisions. They are based on large, diverse population data collected nationally and are regularly updated to reflect current growth trends. Overall, CDC Growth Charts provide a standardized way to monitor a child's development and ensure they are growing as expected.
