Anthro assignment - child growth standards

Hi all,

There is an anthro assignment. Professor Robinscraft apparently asked students to compare child growth standards with US and other countries. The student who came is looking specifically for Russia but there may be others...

Chris found the category "Child Growth Standards" on the WHO site under Global health indicators.

You can also search the NCHS Natnional Center for Health Statistics site (click on ALL CDC documents) and locate comparative info on their site.

US standards are on the National Center for Health Statistics (CDC) http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/major/nhanes/growthcharts/datafiles.htm

WHO (World Health Organization)
http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/who_standards.htm

Chime in if you know of other sources?

Thank you,

Deborah
