Paediatric & Newborn Tests Guide (0–18 Years)
Along with tracking growth percentiles, learn when developmental milestones, anaemia screenings (haemoglobin & ferritin), blood pressure, and vision checks are recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions about WHO Child Growth
❓ How are child growth percentiles calculated?
Growth percentiles are calculated using official World Health Organization (WHO) LMS parameters (L=skewness, M=median, S=coefficient of variation) based on exact age in days and biological sex.
❓ What is considered a normal growth percentile for a child?
A percentile between the 15th and 85th percentiles is considered normal healthy growth. Percentiles below the 3rd or above the 97th percentile warrant clinical evaluation with Senior Paediatrician Dr. Zahoor Hussain Daraz.
❓ Where is Dr. Zahoor's clinic located in Srinagar?
Dr. Zahoor Hussain Daraz consults at Medicare Super Speciality Hospital, Karan Nagar, Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir 190010. Helpline: +91 60067 00425.
❓ What is toddler stunting and how can height growth be improved?
Stunting is linear growth faltering where height is below WHO benchmarks for age. Early nutrition intervention with proteins, eggs, dairy, and Vitamin D before age 2-3 promotes catch-up growth.
