A height chart is a visual tool used to track and compare the height of individuals, often children, over time. It typically displays a vertical axis representing height and a horizontal axis showing age. Parents and healthcare providers use height charts to monitor growth patterns and identify any potential health concerns. Height charts are commonly found in pediatric offices and schools. They can help determine if a child's growth is within a healthy range compared to established growth standards, such as those provided by the World Health Organization or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
