The growth chart covers the period from 28 weeks of fetal life to age 2 years, and allows weight, length, and head circumference to be charted. The time scale is logarithmic, providing the convenience of an extended scale for the earlier months of life, and giving the graphs an approximately linear form. Separate charts for boys and girls are provided, with 10th, 50th, and 90th centiles. Weight charts of individual low birthweight infants illustrate the striking `catch-up' growth often achieved by these infants.
生长图表涵盖从胎儿期28周至2岁的时间段,并可绘制体重、身长和头围。时间刻度是对数形式的,为生命早期几个月提供了扩展刻度的便利,使图表呈现出近似线性的形式。提供了男孩和女孩的单独图表,包括第10百分位、第50百分位和第90百分位。个别低出生体重婴儿的体重图表显示了这些婴儿通常能实现的显著“追赶性”生长。
