Abstract
Assessing weight and height development is a key element of pediatric follow-up. Growth retardation, even in isolation, may be the first symptom of achronic disease and should therefore always be investigated. Many chronic diseases can be responsible and in most cases, diagnosis and management of the disease will minimize the impact on statural growth. The reconstruction of growth curves on the health record is essential to obtain a vision of the growth kinetics of the child and to orient the diagnosis. The study of the evolution of the ratio between weight and height is an essential point in the diagnostic process.
