What Tools and Methods Are Used for Weight Tracking?
Healthcare providers use a variety of tools and methods to track weight in children. Common tools include digital scales and growth charts. Growth charts are used to plot a child's weight against standardized percentiles, providing a visual representation of how the child's weight compares to that of their peers. Additionally, Body Mass Index (BMI) is often calculated for children over the age of two to assess whether they are within a healthy weight range.
