The problems and challenges in growth monitoring.

Growth monitoring is the apparently simple act of regularly assessing physical growth to watch over changes in health and nutrition in a child and take appropriate actions to improve them. Several challenging issues need more in depth study to clarify the confusion that surrounds growth monitoring (GM) at present.
