摘要

如果不与生长图表进行比较，生长测量结果在很大程度上是无法解读的。因此，生长图表的特点成为解释生长测量结果不可或缺的组成部分。最适生长和生长速度的概念已得到辅助学家的广泛认可，但它们对解释生长测量结果的影响仍然存在问题。这篇叙述性综述讨论了最佳生长的概念，以及如何将其作为制定和使用生长图表的指导原则。此外，还讨论了在生长评估中操作节奏所面临的挑战。举例说明突出了这两个核心概念在使用和解释生长测量中的重要性。

From growth charts to growth status: how concepts of optimal growth and tempo influence the interpretation of growth measurements.

Growth measurements are largely uninterpretable without comparison to a growth chart. Consequently, the characteristics of a growth chart become an integral component of the interpretation of growth measurements. The concepts of optimal growth and tempo are well recognised by auxologists, yet their implications for interpretation of growth measurements remain problematic. This narrative review discusses the concept of optimal growth and how it serves as a guiding principle in the development and use of growth charts. The challenges of operationalising tempo for growth assessment are also discussed. Illustrative examples highlight the importance of these two central concepts in the use and interpretation of growth measurements.
