Postnatal Growth

The curves on this page were created from a cohort study of healthy term neonates born at Kathmandu Medical College Training Hospital(1). The charts are for both sexesm as the sample size of the study was very small, 81 (45 males and 36 females). The charts created also include a line of comparison of the mean weight, height and head circumference of affluent Indian children (2) with those of the Nepalese children
