Clinical Growth Charts Available on the Web

The clinical growth charts are commonly used by health care providers and include these three features.

1. Each clinical chart has a data entry box to record individual patient data.
2. The clinical growth charts are formatted with two sets of percentile curves per page, with the exception of the BMI-for-age chart, which has only one chart per page.
3. The grid in the charts is scaled to metric units; English units are also shown.

The clinical growth charts are provided in sets that display different percentile lines to meet the needs of various users. The percentile lines for the clinical charts are listed below.
