Pediatric Growth Charts

Pediatric growth charts are tools used by healthcare providers to track a child's growth over time by comparing their height, weight, and head circumference to typical ranges for children of the same age and sex. These charts help identify healthy development patterns and can spot potential growth concerns early. They are based on large populations of children and provide percentile rankings, showing where a child's measurements fall relative to peers. Regular use of growth charts ensures children are growing as expected and allows for timely interventions if needed.
