ANTHRO — Software for Calculating Pediatric Anthropometry, v1.02, 1999

Anthropometry indicators are a measure of the health and developmental status of children based on the child's age, sex, height and weight. ANTHRO software can be used by health professionals to compare the growth of individual children with the growth patterns of a large reference population of the same age and sex.

ANTHRO is based on the 1978 NCHS/CDC/WHO growth reference. It requires the sex, height, weight, and age of children to calculate normalized anthropometric z-values, percentiles and percent-of-median. It can use dBase files for batch processing and has an anthropometric calculator.
