Tools for measuring growth are simple and easy to use (weighing scale, measuring tape etc.) and are available in a community/family. However, no tool is available at present which may be simple, small, portable and easy to use for interpretation of anthropometric measurements collected at peripheral level. The KGAT card has been developed to fulfil this need.

Abstract


Tools for measuring growth are simple and easy to use (weighing scale, measuring tape etc.) and are available in a community/family. However, no tool is available at present which may be simple, small, portable and easy to use for interpretation of anthropometric measurements collected at peripheral level. The KGAT card has been developed to fulfil this need.
