Waist-Height Ratio and Disease Risk Quiz

The WHO growth charts are not suitable for evaluating the growth of very-low-birth-weight infants.

Measuring head circumference at every health visit is recommended until 5 years of age.

Head circumferences for term newborns usually range between 30.5 and 35.5 cm.

At 2 years of age, the child's head circumference is half its adult size.

Comparing head circumference measurements over time can help monitor the head circumference growth pattern using the WHO growth curve.

Newborns with a birth weight over 10 pounds are not at risk for hypoglycemia.

Rapid weight gain during early infancy is not associated with cardiovascular disease risk in adulthood.

Recumbent length should be measured in a standing position for infants between birth and 24 months of age.

Infant's length measurement should be plotted on the World Health Organization (WHO) growth curve for age and gender to identify percentile placement.

Length variations between 45 and 55 cm are considered healthy at birth for term newborns.

Infants generally triple their birth weight by 4 to 5 months of age.

Using the child’s height instead of length on the WHO growth curve will provide a more accurate representation of the child's growth status.

Newborns regain the weight lost after birth within 1 week.

Infants and small children are primarily weighed in pounds and ounces to ensure accuracy in medication dosages.

Infants should be monitored using the CDC growth curve starting at birth.

Obtaining a reliable length measurement in newborns is challenging due to the natural flexion of infants and the molding of their heads.

The weight of most term newborns falls between 2500 and 4500 g.

It is recommended to start measuring a child's height and plotting measurements on the Centers for Disease Control growth curves at 18 months of age.

Infants gain weight at a rate of approximately 20 g per day starting at about 3 months of age.

Most electronic health record systems do not include embedded World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control growth charts.

Body Mass Index is a direct measure of body fat.

The prevalence of obesity among adults 20 years of age and older in 2017 to 2018 was 44.2%.

The World Health Organization growth chart for infants includes classifications for underweight and obesity based on BMI values.

Hypoglycemia is a common risk factor for cardiovascular disease in infants.

Recumbent length measurement is recommended for assessing height in infants.

A waist-height ratio greater than 0.5 is not associated with an increased risk of disease.

Infants born with a lower birth weight than their older siblings should not be assessed for congenital abnormalities.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Waist Circumference tables, a waist-height ratio greater than 0.5 indicates decreased risk in adults.

Newborn infants born at term and appropriate size for gestational age have a higher risk of health complications.

Continuous monitoring of changes in recumbent length is not crucial in assessing the growth and development of infants over time.

A recumbent measuring device is used to measure standing height in children.

To measure weight, the patient should stand at one edge of the scale platform.

Weight variations during the day are mostly due to changes in muscle mass.

Using the same scale and weighing at the same time each day is not important for monitoring a patient's weight.

The USDA MyPlate.gov website and mobile app are not useful tools for tracking daily food and beverage intake by food groups.

Patients cannot ask for calorie intake recommendations to guide their food choices.

A standing platform scale with a height attachment is used for measuring standing height in children.

Infants should be weighed without removing excess clothing and shoes for accurate weight measurements.

The World Health Organization growth chart is primarily used for monitoring cardiovascular disease risk in infants.

Hypoglycemia in newborns can be accurately identified by food and beverage intake records.
