Different tools and techniques are used for various measurements:
Height: Measured using a stadiometer or height board. The child should stand straight with heels, buttocks, and shoulders touching the vertical surface. Weight: Measured using a calibrated scale. The child should wear minimal clothing and no shoes. Head Circumference: Measured using a flexible, non-stretchable measuring tape. The tape should be placed above the eyebrows, around the largest part of the head. BMI: Calculated using the formula BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2. It provides an estimate of body fat and helps assess whether the child is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.
