Patient Growth Charts

The growth charts consist of a series of percentile curves that illustrate the distribution of selected body measurements in U.S. children. The patient's own measurements (as recorded in the Vitals panel, or in a Head Circumference data item) are plotted against this data.

A Weight-for-age Growth Chart for Boys between 2 and 20 Years in the VersaForm EMR Software, showing where the patient scores.

The growth charts consist of 16 charts (8 for boys and 8 for girls). The individual growth charts have the grids aligned to English units (lb, in). The individual charts include the following:

Infants, birth to 36 months
(1) Weight-for-age
(2) Length-for-age
(3) Weight-for-length
(4) Head circumference-for-age

Children and adolescents, 2 to 20 years
(5) Weight-for-age
(6) Stature-for-age
(7) Body mass index-for-age

Preschoolers, 2 to 5 years
(8) Weight-for-stature

Data for the growth charts is taken from the CDC Growth Charts.
