How can the chart below be used to monitor growth?
The chart can be used to monitor growth as follows:
- an individual's age is read from the x axis and body mass from the y axis
- the point at which age and body mass intersect is determined
- the percentile line closest to the intersect point indicates whether or not an individual's growth is typical
