Frisancho Growth Standards

Frisancho Growth Standards are reference guidelines used by healthcare professionals to assess a child’s nutrition and physical development. They compare a child's measurements, like height, weight, and body composition, against typical values for children of the same age and gender. These standards help determine if a child's growth is on track, indicating proper nutrition and health, or if there might be concerns needing attention. Essentially, they provide a benchmark to monitor growth patterns and identify potential health issues early on.
