Scales and Stadiometers
Height and weight are important parameters for assessing general health, and abnormal changes in them indicate that something is wrong. A downward trend of the growth curve away from the average may indicate a health problem such as osteoporosis. Weight gain or loss can be caused by illness or poor lifestyle habits. And monitoring weight trends is one of the most important criteria for assessing children's development.
There are many types of scales, including baby scales and personal scales with analogue or digital displays. More modern devices also have a built-in BMI (body mass index) function.
