Height and Weight
Captions available
The idea
Height and weight reflect general health, and weight is checked at routine visits.
In practice
Infants and children are measured to track growth and development; changes in an adult's weight can signal illness or fluid changes.
Where people slip
Record weight the same way at each visit, as the practice directs, so readings can be compared.
