WHO Releases New Child Growth Charts
The World Health Organization has released new standards for normal health and growth in children up to age five. For the first time, the standards include a body mass index for this age group; they also outline when children should hit development milestones such as sitting, standing, and walking; as well as lowered their standard for baby obesity. To determine what is considered normal, WHO used information from more than 8,000 children from eight countries, including America, who were breast-fed and received good medical care, and whose mothers did not smoke. |
