How is Rapid Growth Measured?

Pediatricians use various tools and methods to measure and track growth:
Growth Charts: These charts provide a visual representation of a child's growth over time, comparing their measurements to standardized percentiles.
BMI (Body Mass Index): This index helps assess whether a child is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.
Bone Age: An X-ray of the hand and wrist can help determine the maturity of a child's bones, providing insight into their growth potential.
