Growth measurement refers to the process of assessing the physical development of individuals, particularly children. It typically involves tracking changes in height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) over time. These measurements help healthcare professionals evaluate whether a child is growing at a healthy rate compared to established growth charts. In addition to physical growth, growth measurement can also apply to businesses and economies. For businesses, it often includes metrics like revenue, profit margins, and market share. In economics, growth measurement focuses on indicators such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employment rates to assess overall economic health.
