Abstract
The use of a growth standard involves decisions about which growth chart to employ, which centiles on the chart to use as a cut-off for abnormal growth, and how to interpret the centile plots of specific individuals. Some of these issues are philosophical, whereas others are practical; however, they can all be addressed as a way of improving the usefulness of growth standards in a wide variety of situations.Keywords
