Anthropometry is an effective and frequently performed child health and nutrition screening procedure. The value of physical growth data depends on their accuracy and reliability, how they are recorded and interpreted, and what follow-up efforts are made after identification of growth abnormality. The new National Center for Health Statistics percentiles can be used to improve identification of potential health and nutritional problems and to facilitate the epidemological comparison of one group of children with others.
人体测量学是一种有效且经常进行的儿童健康与营养筛查程序。身体生长数据的价值取决于其准确性和可靠性、记录与解读方式，以及在识别出生长异常后所采取的后续措施。新的国家卫生统计中心百分位数可用于改善对潜在健康和营养问题的识别，并便于对一组儿童与其他儿童进行流行病学比较。
