growth chart
Pediatric measurement record
A growth chart is a graph showing expected physical development—typically height and weight—for children at different ages.
Pediatricians plot measurements against standardized curves to track whether a child is developing normally: She's in the 75th percentile on the growth chart.
The chart helps identify children who may be growing too slowly or rapidly.
