Application Description
STAT Growth Charts implements the July 2000 revision of the CDC pediatric growth charts for the United States (http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/).
Now includes automatic calculation of blood pressure tables from the recently-published guidelines.
STAT Growth Charts allows the user to input age,sex,weight,height, and head circumference.

A graphical representation of these percentile ranks is also presented.
STAT Growth Charts is compatible with all Palm OS handhelds.

Excellent program; I used it in my M515 very well. But on my Zire 72 always crashes the system.

Great program. Easy to find percentile, interpret growth failure, and helpful in finding needed numbers to calculate catch-up growth.

Not sure if it was a bug fix or a fix on my Tungsten-T, but now this runs well. Very useful to check wt/ht/bmi on kids at a glance, and let someone else graph it later!

This is an excellent program on non-Tungsten Palms, and I used to use it often in clinic as a family doctor on old Palm. However, it doesn't seem to work on my Tungsten-T, and the interim bug-fix the developer sent me didn't either. Here's hoping it gets fixed soon!
