WHO Anthro vs AnthroCharts

This application calculates and graphically displays the Z-Score and percentile of the main anthropometric indicators across the entire pediatric age range. It also performs a detailed analysis of growth velocity, using days of life as the reference. It was developed and programmed by Gerson Rodríguez, Pediatric Specialist. Main Features 1. Percentile and Z-Score Charts and Calculations (WHO / CDC): Charts and calculations based on WHO and CDC standards, with day-of-life sensitivity, to ensure accurate growth assessment for: Weight / Length Weight / Age Length (Height) / Age BMI / Age Head Circumference / Age 2. Growth Velocity Analysis: Evaluates changes in length, weight, or head circumference, displaying Z-scores, percentiles, and graphs that highlight progress between visits. 2.1 Quantitative deficit or excess analysis: For each indicator, the app calculates the exact difference between the child and each standard deviation curve (–3 to +3 SD). 3. Cerebral Palsy Growth Charts Includes weight, height, and BMI charts for children with Cerebral Palsy, stratified by the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS I–V), with Level V divided into tube-fed (TF) and non-tube-fed (NT). Based on: Jordan Brooks et al., Pediatrics 128(2): e299–e307. 4. Daily Fluid Requirement Calculation: Calculates daily fluid needs using the Holliday & Segar method or body surface area. 5. Patient Database Management: Create and manage patient records including percentiles, Z-scores, and anthropometric measurements for comprehensive follow-up. 6. Import and Export Data: Easily import and export the patient database for flexible data management. 7. Preterm and Neonatal Growth Charts: Charts and calculations based on the latest FENTON, INTERGROWTH-21st, and OLSEN (2010) references. 8. Down Syndrome Growth Charts: Growth charts specially adapted for children with Down syndrome. All results are based on the LMS model (Cox distribution: Lambda – Mu – Sigma), applied to height, weight, BMI, and head circumference. Access all features with a single purchase, including future updates at no additional cost. No internet connection required — use it anywhere.

AnthroCharts is an app that plots growth charts using public data from the CDC and WHO. Designed for ease of use, AnthroCharts not only makes plotting simple but also presents the growth charts on your device more beautifully than you’ve ever seen before. It calculates and displays the percentiles or z-scores of the measurements you enter. Similar to the paper charts provided by these organizations and other health entities, AnthroCharts allows you to easily tap on the screen or manually enter measurements to instantly get the corresponding percentile or z-score. The app includes high-resolution growth charts for Body Mass Index (BMI), Weight, Length/Height, and Head Circumference for both males and females, sourced from CDC and WHO data. When enabled, the app can also extend the charts to display more extreme values like in obesity. Also displays the curves for all the standard percentiles and z-scores but lets you hide the ones you don't want. Since these measurements are age-dependent, AnthroCharts features a built-in age calculator. Additionally, for BMI plotting, it includes a calculator to determine BMI from weight and height. The app supports both metric units and imperial units (inches and pounds) for all charts and the BMI calculator. Note that AnthroCharts uses freely available data sourced from the CDC and WHO. The CDC data is available for no charge on the agency website.
