    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.
