WHO Child Growth Standards
*
If a child aged less than 2 years is measured standing up, change the height to length by adding 0.7 cm BEFORE calculating BMI, because the BMI-for-age for Birth to 2 years is
based on length. For children 2 to 5 years measured lying down, convert length to height by subtracting 0.7 cm BEFORE calculating BMI for application of the BMI-for-age chart.
†
24 months corresponds to 731 days.
