20CDC-WHO Growth Charts
2
Welcome to the CDC-WHO Growth Chart Training!
In 2006 the World Health Organization (WHO) published new growth standards. The
Center for Disease Control (CDC) released growth charts based on the WHO growth
standards. These are the new charts we will be using in the Washington WIC Nutrition
Program. This training will share information about the new charts and how we’ll
implement them.
During this training we’ll use these terms when we talk about the charts:
CDC charts = the current charts we use in WIC
WHO charts = the new CDC-WHO charts we will be using soon
We are happy to share the new growth charts with you!
