wgsData

World Health Organization (WHO) Growth Reference (2006) data

datasets

A tool for calculating z-scores and centiles for weight-for-age,
length/height-for-age, weight-for-length/height, BMI-for-age,
head circumference-for-age, age circumference-for-age,
subscapular skinfold-for-age, triceps skinfold-for-age based on the
WHO Child Growth Standards.
