Abstract

Growth monitoring is the apparently simple act of regularly assessing physical growth to watch over changes in health and nutrition in a child and take appropriate actions to improve them. Several challenging issues need more in depth study to clarify the confusion that surrounds growth monitoring (GM) at present. This review seeks to clarify certain issues including production of scales and equipment-attendance at weighing clinics, interpretation of growth chart and inability to intervene. Moreover, the review specifically discusses the problems of growth monitoring in developing countries with reference to Africa.
