Dear colleagues
I need to measure adolescent men with heights >1.745 m and determine whether they are malnourished or not. We normally use the NCHS data table for adolescent men WfH % of the median. However, this table only goes until 1.745 m .
Does anyone have an idea if there is a NCHS data table that uses heights of 1.75 m and over for adolescnets? If not, what to do?
I have the same question for adolescent women, the NCHS table goes until 1.635 m....
Thanks so much for your advice!

Try BMI/A. The tables are [url=http://www.who.int/growthref/en]here[/url]. You could use BMI.
