Study Notes
Determinants of Growth
- Genetic factors, nutrition, and hormone levels are determinants of growth.
Growth Monitoring
- The purpose of growth monitoring is to assess and track a child's growth over time.
Measuring Height/Length
- For children above 2 years old, height is measured by standing upright against a stadiometer.
- For children below 2 years old, length is measured by lying down on a recumbent length board.
Medical Conditions
- A 3-month-old infant with feeding difficulties and shortness of breath may have a Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD).
- A 6-year-old girl who is not growing and appears to be the shortest in her class may have growth hormone deficiency.
Growth Charts
- The World Health Organization (WHO) growth chart is recommended for children up to the age of 2 years, regardless of type of feeding.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth chart is recommended for children above the age of 2 years.
- The Fenton Preterm Growth Chart is specifically designed for preterm babies.
Anthropometry
- Mid-arm circumference is a common anthropometric measurement for evaluating growth, with a normal range of 15-18 cm for children between 1-5 years old.
- Upper segment to lower segment ratio is calculated to assess body proportions, with a normal range of 1.3-1.7 in a 3-year-old child.
- Skinfold thickness measurements are used to assess body fat.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
- BMI is calculated using the formula: BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)².
Microcephaly
- Microcephaly is defined as a head circumference below the 3rd percentile for age and sex.
Factors Affecting Growth
- Factors that can affect growth include genetics, nutrition, hormone levels, and certain medical conditions.
