Programmable calculators in the field assessment of nutritional status.
Programmable electronic calculators can be used for many purposes in field studies in which anthropometric evidence of nutritional state is being collected. One of their most interesting uses is the rapid conversion of anthropometric measurements into percentages of the standard. Coefficients are given for such calculations for height, weight, and arm circumference.
