Guest Editorial
Given that normal growth in a child is considered a marker of good health, child growth monitoring programmes are considered good practice. But, until recently, there was little evidence to support their use. In our Guest Editorial, Ameeta Mehta and Peter Hindmarsh sum up new evidence suggesting that monitoring growth in children is useful; and, in light of the recently published WHO standards, they discuss the controversies regarding their applicability as a gauge of abnormal growth in individual populations.
