Stature
or height is measured for children over the age of 24 months who can stand
unassisted. Young children from 24 to 36 months may have either length
or stature measured. The appropriate chart should be used for recording
and plotting results. If length is measured, one should use the chart
for birth to 36 months; if stature is measured, use the chart for 2 to
18 years.
