Detailed description

Infant growth is defined as a positive change in body size over a period of time, and it is a sensitive predictor of an individuals' health. An inappropriate growth pattern indicates nutritional disorders, chronic and infectious diseases in infants. Early growth rate is related to adulthood health, such that it is important to develop the concept of appropriate growth for parents, in other to detect children with abnormal growth rates, as soon as possible .Weight and height of preschool children are the most common anthropometric measurements, to investigate a child's growth rate. Weight is the simplest and most reliable anthropometric measurement, and may be used as an indicator of childhood infection. On the other hand, height summarizes various measures of nutritional conditions in the first two decades of a human's life. Many children younger than 5 years in developing countries are exposed to multiple risks, including poverty, malnutrition, poor health, and unstimulating home environments, which detrimentally affect their cognitive, motor, and social-emotional development.
