This chapter reviews the concepts and indicators for measuring impaired fetal and child growth. The magnitude and geographical distribution of growth retardation in developing countries are described. The links between fetal- and child-growth retardation are discussed. The main health and social consequences of impaired growth in terms of morbidity, mortality, child development and adult-life consequences are outlined. The interventions aimed at promoting healthy growth and development are evaluated.
