Height for age (H/A) and weight for age (W/A) are pivotal measures for assessing children’s growth against standard patterns [1]. Presently, Pakistan relies on WHO standards for monitoring child growth and estimating rates of wasting and stunting in the population [2]. Over the past decad...
Anthropometric measurements are crucial in pediatric critical care, but the impact of height on ICU outcomes is underexplored despite a substantial number of short-for-age children in ICUs. Previous studies suggest that short stature increases the risk o
Stature and weight data from birth through 18 years of age and head circumference from birth through 5 years of age were utilized to construct new length/height-for-age, weight-for-age, head circumference-for-age and weight-for-height curves. Conclusion Achondroplasia-specific growth curves are ...
Weight and height data were obtained at the pre-surgical period, at 1-year post-surgery, and at the latest available follow-up (LAF). Results: There were 130 patients in the dataset (70% male, mean age 63+/-9.1). Eighty-eight patients had available data at 1-year post-DBS or ...
Definition:Prevalence of wasting is the proportion of children under age 5 whose weight for height is more than two standard deviations below the median for the international reference population ages 0-59. Description:The map below shows how Prevalence of wasting, weight for height (% of children...
First, part of the explanation must be related to the fact that, in contrast to WHZ, the diagnosis of acute malnutrition based on MUAC relies on a single absolute cut-off point independent of age, height and sex. As a child grows height, weight and MUAC all increase steadily albeit at...
The KNHANES dataset is also described in Table 1. Table 1 Means ± SD of weight (kg), height (m), and age (years) in participants used for allometric model analysis Full size table Scaling of body mass to height The unadjusted power, β from model (1) was 2.08 (s = 0.02...

Height and weight measures were used to calculate BMI. Age and sex specific BMI standards and the International Obesity Taskforce cut-offs that correspond to BMI of 25 or 30 kg/m2 at age 18 years were used to identify overweight and obese children [25, 26]. In adults overweight was ...
However WHTR percentiles have not been reported and the generality of its independence of ethnic and age differences is questionable. In 1993 a growth survey of 25,000 Hong Kong children from birth to 18 y was undertaken and growth charts for weight, height, weight-for-height and body mass ...
