Growth assessment
Growth :
defined as an increase in size of body, biological growth of anism takes place through cell multiplication, this morphological growth can be measured clinically.
Development :
is the association process of differentiation of anism, in which growing tissues ans take on plexity of function(physiological, motor, cognitive, affective).
Thus, since both processes are part of one whole, bined terms growth and development form an unitary concept that indicates the quatitative and qualitative of maturational changes of anism.
Physical growth can be assessed by various anthropometric measurements.
posed of tissues, organs ,systems and fluid, etc.
is mon and sensitive measurement of physical growth, especially for evaluating present nutrient state.

1、 The first growth spurt occurs in the first year of life (the increment is about 6kg).
Patterns of Weight Increment
2、Growth is not at the same rate in different age : The increment of weight during the first 3 months is equal to that of the following 9 months.
3 、Yearly increments increase slowly until the onset of puberty.
