Article Synopsis
- Growth references are critical for identifying children's health needs and determining necessary growth interventions, with variations influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and environment, particularly across different ethnic groups.
- A study conducted in north-eastern Iran assessed the growth percentiles of nearly 479,000 children from birth to 24 months, creating specific reference charts for length, weight, and head circumference.
- The findings revealed that Iranian newborns had lower weight and head circumference compared to WHO standards initially, but showed improved growth in weight, length, and head circumference as they aged.
