WHO Growth Charts

WHO Growth Charts are standardized tools used to assess the growth and development of children worldwide. They compare a child's measurements—such as height, weight, and head circumference—to data from healthy children of the same age and sex, providing percentiles that show how a child is growing relative to peers. These charts help parents and healthcare providers identify potential growth issues early, ensuring children receive appropriate care to promote healthy development. They are based on studies of children raised in optimal health conditions, serving as a global benchmark for healthy growth.
