AnthroCalc
iOS Universel / Medecine
The AnthroCalc app calculates percentiles and Z-scores for length/height, weight, weight-for-length/height, body-mass index, and head circumference for typically growing children (using WHO or CDC references); for children with a number of syndromes (Turner, Down, Prader–Willi, Russell–Silver and Noonan); and for preterm infants (using Fenton 2013 and 2025, INTERGROWTH-21st, or Olsen references). The app also performs specialized calculations of blood pressure (using NIH 2004 or AAP 2017 references), extended obesity measures, waist circumference, arm circumference, triceps and subscapular skinfolds, target (midparental) height, predicted adult height, and height velocity for healthy children. Citations are provided for each reference range used for the calculations.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
On the “CDC” screen, have added “gradual Z-scores” for height, weight and BMI for children 2–5 years, which smooth the transition from WHO values back to CDC [Pediatrics 2025;156(3):e2025070697)]; this can be switched on and off on the “Settings” screen. Have added the ability to directly enter the age (years, months and days) on the “WHO” and “CDC” screens, instead of having to enter date of birth and date of measurement (which is still the default). Will continue to do this on other screens with time. Have made some small bug fixes in “Predicted Adult Height” screen.
