  • This standard specifies the evaluation indicators and methods for the growth level and nutritional status of children under 7 years of age.

    This standard is applicable to the group and individual evaluation of the growth level and nutritional status of children under 7 years of age.

  • The following documents constitute the essential provisions of this standard through the normative references in the text. For the references dated, only their dated versions are applies to this standard; for the references undated, their latest versions, including all amendments, are applicable to this standard.

  • The following terms and definitions apply to this standard.

  • Children between birth and under 7 years of age (< 84 months of age).

  • Total weight of the human body.

  • Length from the top of the head to the heel in the horizontal position.

  • Vertical height from the top of the head to the bottom of the foot in the standing position.

  • The circumference at the upper edge of the right eyebrow arch passing through the highest point of the occipital ridge.

  • An index for calculating weight for height, under the following Formula (1):

    $$ {\rm{BMI}} =\dfrac{ {\rm{Weight}} \; ({\rm{kg}})} {[{\rm{Height}}\; ({\rm{m}})]^2} $$ (1)
  • The growth level of children under 7 years old was evaluated according to Table 1 in Appendix A.
