Childhood Growth Charts Screen

The Childhood Growth Charts app displays a graph of childhood BMI's plotted against centiles for children between the ages of 5 and 19 years. The information used to plot the charts is based on UK data.

Childhood Growth Charts

The Childhood Growth Charts display multiple tabbed growth charts dependent upon the patient age.

The patient centile charts cover three different age ranges:

• 0-2 years
• 2-4 years
• 4-18 years

Within each age range there are centile charts for Height, Weight and BMI. The age ranges are shown on tabs and only those tabs relevant to the patient’s age are shown. Thus, for a patient aged three only the first two tabs are shown and the second selected by default.
