title: [Use of anthropometric measures in practice].
abstract: Regular measurement of anthropometric parameters are necessary for studying growth and nutritional status of children. Among the many parameters for which reference standards are available, weight, length an height, statural growth velocity and body mass index are the most useful in pediatric daily practice. Besides to be regularly measured, anthropometric data must be noted on the child health record and confronted with the standard curves.
