intergrating Weight-for-age Z-score in a vb.net program
My program captures children weights and age in months (only). I want to use this information to calculate the each child's weight-for-age. i am using vb.net 3.5
I'm assuming you want the Weight-for-age Percentile. If that's the case you also need to capture the child's gender.
The way to obtain the percentile is by having the following Weight-for-age tables in your program:
http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/html_charts/wtageinf.htm (Ages Birth to 36 Months)
http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/html_charts/wtage.htm (Ages 2 to 20 Years)
I hope this helps.
