Specific calculator to help compare the physical growth of children with the evaluation standards for children under 5 years of age (WHO). The graphs established in this application are those of the comparative evaluation of percentiles and other scores (Z score).
Percentile calculator and Z score
This calculator offers the possibility of easily calculating the following data: Percentiles of weight, height and head circumference: they indicate where the patient is compared to other boys or girls of the same sex and age.
In general, this group of calculations gives us a better idea of the nutritional status, due to excess or deficit in pediatric patients.
All calculations in this application are made using the standards of the World Health Organization (WHO). In the bibliographic references are the citations and links used.
Concepts about Pediatric Anthropometric Assessment:
Assessing physical growth is insufficient as the only means to adequately assess a person's health status. Despite this, normal physical development is a necessary goal of any strategy that encompasses aspects of wellness as important end results. The marked vulnerability of the health of infants and young children also makes assessments of children's growth "sentinel" indicators of assessments of health and socioeconomic development.
Growth benchmarks are among the most valuable and widely used instruments we have to measure the degree to which we are able to meet the basic physical needs of children.
