Abstract

Background: The evaluation of the monitoring growth of children is one of the important source of information to detect MALNUTRISHMENT. The objective of this study was to etermine the trend of infant growth from birth to 2 years in the rural community of Babol and to compare it with NCHS. Methods: This study was conducted based on the exiting data in the monitoring growth system in Babol communities which were covered by health centre. A sample of 429 children with their birth between 1994 to 1996 were selected using cluster sampling techniques. The precentiles of HEIGHT and WEIGHT were calculated and they were compared with NCHS STANDARD. Results: The results shows that the WEIGHT of 67.5% of infants was between 50th and 97th NCHS STANDARD at 1 month. This figure was reduced by increasing the age to 45.2% at 6 month, 42.6% at 12 month and 44.2% at 24 month. When these figures were compared among boys and girls, the above rates 5% to 20% were less among girls than boys. The results also shows that the 50th precentile of NCHS STANDARD, but after that it was lower than NCHS. The reduction of HEIGHT in compared with standard was began at age 1 to 3 month. The 50th precentile of HEIGHT was close to the NCHS, but after 3 month it deviates from NCHS. A significant difference was observed between 50th precentiles of HEIGHT and WEIGHT with NCHS (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The results indicated that Iranian infant growth can not be evaluated with NCHS STANDARD. It is neseccary to provide national and local charts of the growth for Iranian children.
