Growth charts are used to track a child's growth over time compared to a standardized growth pattern for children of the same age and gender. This allows healthcare providers to identify if a child is growing at a normal rate, or if there are potential health concerns that may require further attention. For example, deviations from standard growth curves can indicate malnutrition, obesity, or hormonal disorders.
