Anthropometry involves the quantitative measurement of the human body and is used to assess nutritional status. Key anthropometric measurements include weight, height/length, head circumference, chest circumference, mid-upper arm circumference, and skinfold thickness. Weight-for-age, height-for-age, weight-for-height, and body mass index are used to classify malnutrition. Growth charts are used to monitor a child's growth over time by periodic recording of weight and height/length according to age. Malnutrition is classified as mild, moderate, or severe depending on where measurements fall along standardized growth curves.
Out patient Treatment, ( OTP) MANAGEMENT
This document discusses community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM). CMAM involves 1) inpatient care for children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and medical complications, 2) outpatient care for children with SAM without complications, 3) community outreach, and 4) services for moderate acute malnutrition. Key principles of CMAM include decentralized access and timely treatment to prevent medical complications and integrate with other sectors like health, hygiene and food security. The document also provides details on screening and admission criteria like mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), weight-for-height (WFH) z-score, edema, and appetite.
GROWTH MONITORING-ANTHROPOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS
This document discusses growth monitoring through anthropometric measurements and growth chart interpretation. It defines key terms like growth, growth monitoring, and anthropometry. It describes taking measurements of weight, length/height, head circumference, mid-upper arm circumference, and interpreting growth indicators like height-for-age, weight-for-height, and weight-for-age on growth charts. Abnormal growth patterns like horizontal, downward, and below standard deviation lines indicate malnutrition, illness, or inadequate nutrition requiring further investigation and treatment.
Pain management and anthropometry (Yosra Raziani)
Anthropometry is the measurement of the human body. It is a branch of anthropology that involves quantitative measurement of the body. Parameters like weight, height, head circumference, chest circumference, mid-upper arm circumference, and skinfold thickness are measured to assess nutritional status. Various growth charts and formulas are used to monitor growth and detect malnutrition. Anthropometry provides an objective means to evaluate size, proportions and composition of the body.
Techniques of anthropometric measurements in infants ppt medicine
This document discusses techniques for anthropometric measurements in infants. It begins by defining anthropometry as the quantitative measurement of the human body used to assess size, proportions, and composition. Key parameters for infants include weight, height, head circumference, chest circumference, mid-arm circumference, weight for height, and skinfold thickness. The document then provides typical ranges for these measurements in newborns. It describes techniques for accurately measuring weight, length, head circumference, chest circumference, and limb circumference in infants. Formulas for estimating expected weight, height, and head circumference at different ages are also presented. The document emphasizes the importance of anthropometric measurements for monitoring infant growth and nutritional status.
Growth and development
This document defines growth and development and how they are assessed in children. It discusses:
- Growth is an increase in size due to cell multiplication and protein/DNA content, while development refers to functional/physiological maturation.
- Growth can be measured through physical anthropometry of weight, length/height, head circumference, chest circumference, mid-arm circumference, and bone age assessed on X-rays.
- Factors like genetics, nutrition, socioeconomics, environment, and chronic diseases influence a child's growth and development. Growth and development begin at conception and continue until maturity.
Ergonomics in child care and parenting
This document discusses ergonomics as it relates to childcare. It notes that caring for children is a common occupation with few studies examining associated ergonomic risks. A study found that 92% of caregivers were mothers and 66% reported musculoskeletal pain, most commonly in the low back, neck, and shoulders. Common ergonomic disorders for those working with young children include back injuries, chronic lower back pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Risk factors include repetitive motions, forceful exertions, awkward postures, and heavy lifting. The document provides guidelines to prevent injuries, including proper lifting techniques, taking breaks, using ergonomic products, and doing stretches.
Anthropometry Pediatrics
A complete physical examination including anthropometric measurements is performed at each visit. Pediatric residents and nurses provide breastfeeding counselling. ... A locally manufactured standard measuring board, with increments in millimeters, is used to measure supine length
Stork Balance Stand Test
The Stork Balance Stand Test assesses whole body balance by having a person stand on one leg with their hands on their hips for as long as possible, up to one minute. The test measures the time in seconds a person can maintain their balance in that position without putting their raised foot down or moving their hands or supporting foot. The longest of three trials is recorded as the score, with a higher time indicating better balance.

- 4. WEIGHT A key anthropometric measurement A sensitive indicator of current nutritional status Uses reference values for age or height or both of the population Measure of total body mass; summation of fat, body fluids, skeleton & lean cell mass
- 5. STANDARDIZED WEIGHT MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES Place the platform scale firmly on a level or flat surface. Check accuracy of the scale by bringing the sliding lever or dial to zero. Make sure that the pointer is exactly at the middle. The use of standard weight is recommended to ensure accuracy of the scale while being used.
- 6. If the scale is accurate, begin assessments. Ask the child to remove extra layers of clothing, jewelry, and any items in his/her pockets. Remove shoes and socks. Let the child stand at the center of the scale without touching anything, with hands hanging & relaxed on sides. Ask the child to step on the scale carefully. Ensure that the body weight is evenly distributed between both feet. Record the data. STANDARDIZED WEIGHT MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
