WHO Growth Standards

WHO Growth Standards are a set of medical measurements used worldwide to assess how well children are growing. They are based on healthy children from diverse backgrounds, showing the best possible growth patterns when children are nourished and cared for properly. These standards help healthcare providers and parents monitor a child's height, weight, and head size, ensuring they are developing normally. If measurements fall outside the typical range, it may indicate health or nutritional issues that need attention. Overall, WHO Growth Standards serve as a global benchmark to promote healthy growth for all children.
