Presents a review of the uses and interpretation of anthropometric references undertaken by WHO in the early 1990s and concludes that new growth curves were needed to replace the existing international reference.The standards depict normal early childhood growth under optimal environmental conditions and can be used to assess children everywhere, regardless of ethnicity, socioeconomic status and type of feeding. Intended for paediatricians and other healthcare providers, nutritionists, policy makers, researchers, national institutes of health, schools of medicine, and professional associations.
