| WIC Growth Charts for
2-5 Year Olds |
|---|
| |
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS) created these new Weight-for-age
(WFA) and Stature-for-age (SFA) charts with direction from
the Supplemental Food Programs Division (SFPD). These new
charts focus only on WIC aged children, making documentation
and tracking easier. No changes have been made to any of the
Boys and Girls 2000 CDC Growth Charts. The following characteristics
will help you understand these new charts:
|
| |
 |
only the 2-5 year age range is represented
- which allows for more space between age indicators and percentile
curves, making it easier to plot and read; |
| |
|
weight is labeled every 5 pounds with
a line for every pound; |
| |
|
stature is labeled every inch with a
line for every quarter inch; |
| |
|
age is labeled for every year and half
year (2-5) with a line for every 2 months; |
| |
|
English units are on the primary scale
and metric units are on the secondary (outside) scale; and |
| |
|
the WIC logo has been added to the border.
|
| |
|
Printers may want to use the black and white files.

For your information, the BMI-for-age charts for 2-20 year
olds was not modified due to the fact that the current chart
has adequate space for plotting.
The Boys
BMI-for-age and the Girls
BMI-for-age facilitate the creation of a two-sided clinical
chart, similar to the current CDC Clinical Growth Chart for
children with SFA and WFA on one side and BMI-for-age on the
other side.
