Measurement of physical growth in children is a key element in
evaluating their health status. Physical growth parameters include weight,
height (length), skinfold thickness, arm circumference, and head
circumference. The most widely used tool for screening proper development in a child
for a long time was the Denver Developmental Screening Test (Denver
scale), which suggests milestones according to the age. Even today the
tool is used in many countries.
