This cross-sectional study was undertaken to compare WHO and Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) recommended growth charts compiled by Agarwal. 2105 children aged less than 5 years, attending 132 Anganwadi centres in Mysore city, were included by simple random sampling method. Weight and height of all children were recorded and plotted on both WHO and IAP charts. WHO charts detected more boys as underweight compared to IAP charts (P<0.0001). When weight charts of girls were compared there was no difference between the two charts. WHO charts detected more children with stunting than IAP charts, which was true for both boys and girls (P=0.001).
本横断面研究旨在比较 Agarwal 编制的世界卫生组织（WHO）和印度儿科学会（IAP）推荐的生长图表。采用简单随机抽样方法，纳入了密尔沃基市 132 个安格安瓦迪中心年龄小于 5 岁的 2105 名儿童。记录所有儿童的体重和身高，并绘制在 WHO 和 IAP 图表上。与 IAP 图表相比，WHO 图表检测到更多的男孩体重不足（P<0.0001）。当比较女孩的体重图表时，两种图表之间没有差异。与 IAP 图表相比，WHO 图表检测到更多的儿童发育迟缓，这对男孩和女孩都是如此（P=0.001）。
