Children's growth and development testing

Children's growth and development test is to evaluate children's height and weight, intelligence development level, behavior, etc., to reflect the development of children's body and intelligence. Basic Information Specialist classification: growth and development check classification: physical examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Tips: Children should be comforted and guided during the examination. Take off your shoes, hats, and socks when measuring. Normal value 1. Height and weight meet the age standard. 2. The head circumference is 34cm on average at birth, 46cm on average at 1 year old, 2cm in the second year, and 1-2cm in the third year. At the age of 3, the head circumference averaged 48 cm. 3. When the child is born at the bust, the bust is smaller than the head circumference. As the age of the child grows, the bust gradually catches up with the head circumference. Generally, when the child is 1 year old, the bust is equal to the head circumference. 4. Intelligence and behavior are rich in curiosity, quick response to things, and behaviors in line with age. Clinical significance Abnormal result 1. Height check records data measured at different age intervals and traces them on the growth curve. If the child's own curve rises parallel along one of the lines, it indicates that the growth rate is normal. If the curve flattens or falls, it indicates a problem with growth. If estimates are made by numbers, children over the age of 3 grow less than 4 cm per year and are considered to be stunted. For puberty children, comprehensive judgments such as the degree of combined development and bone age are also needed. 2. Weight check For a baby with normal birth weight, the first three months after birth, the fastest growth rate, and then gradually slow down with the increase of the age of the month. If the weight is less than 2 times the birth weight in 3 months after birth, the weight loss is 3 times of the birth weight in 1 year, the weight gain in the whole year is less than 2.0 to 2.5 kg in 1~2 years old, and the annual growth rate is 2 kg in 2~10 years old. The weight gain during adolescence is faster. The boy's annual weight gain is less than 5 kg, and the girl is less than 4 kg, which can be regarded as growth retardation. 3. The head circumference inspection head circumference grew fastest in the first year after birth. If the head circumference is greater than 34cm at birth, it is greater than 46cm at 1 year old, 2cm at the second year, and 1-2cm at the third year. When the head circumference is larger than 48cm at the age of 3, there is a possibility of brain tumors and hydrocephalus. 4. When the child is 1 year old, the chest circumference is smaller than the head circumference, which can be abnormal development of the thorax, such as chicken breast and funnel chest. 5. Intellectual behavior check The results of the intelligence test are lower than the regional average level, and there is no response or slow response to things, and there may be malnutrition and mental retardation. Newborns, growing children, who need to be examined. Low results may be diseases: precautions for malnutrition in children Taboo before inspection: no special contraindications. Requirements for inspection: Because children may be afraid of the examination, the child needs to be comforted and guided during the examination. Take off your shoes, hats, and socks when measuring. Inspection process Weigh and measure the child's height, weight, head circumference and chest circumference. Take off shoes, caps, and socks when measuring. It is best to measure in the morning. The baby under 3 years old can be measured while lying down, but the knee joint should be straight and the head should be supported by two hands. It can be measured by standing above 3 years old. When measuring, the two feet are close together and stand upright. The back of the pillow, shoulder, hip and heel should be in contact with the door. Conduct a preliminary examination of the level of intellectual development. For the curved posture, the grip reflection of the hand, the sensitivity to the reaction of the strong light and the sound, and the degree of contact with the skin. Not suitable for the crowd No taboos. Adverse reactions and risks May cause fear in children.
