After the WHO Growth Standards (WHOGS) was published in 2006, many countries in the world endorsed and adopted the new growth references as a standard measure for the growth of infants and young children. Certainly, the WHOGS has an impact on the global policy about obesity and underweight in children. Such WHOGS innovation has influenced many regional health authorities and academies, which have managed their own growth charts for a long time, in changing their strategies to develop and use regional growth charts. In Korea, along with the tradition to create a national growth chart every decade, we now face a new era of advancing with the WHOGS.
2006年世界卫生组织儿童生长标准（WHOGS）发布后，世界上许多国家认可并采用了这一新的生长参考标准，将其作为衡量婴幼儿生长的标准尺度。当然，WHOGS对全球儿童肥胖和体重不足政策产生了影响。这种WHOGS创新影响了许多长期管理自己生长图表的地区卫生当局和学术机构，促使它们改变制定和使用地区生长图表的策略。在韩国，除了每十年编制一次全国生长图表的传统外，我们现在正面临着与WHOGS同步发展的新时代。
