如果不与增长图表进行比较，增长测量在很大程度上是无法解释的。因此，生长图的特征成为解释生长测量的一个组成部分。最佳生长和克里思的概念是公认的生长学家，但他们的解释生长测量的影响仍然存在问题。这篇叙述性评论讨论了最佳增长的概念，以及它如何作为发展和使用增长图表的指导原则。此外，还讨论了增长评估操作克里思的挑战。说明性的例子突出了这两个中心概念的重要性，在使用和解释的增长测量。
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.
