Some people may still be unfamiliar with the term CHL. CHL stands for Crown-Heel Lenght or the length of a baby’s crown-heel size. CHL is closely related to the development of the baby’s body, especially in terms of measurements. So in this short article will be explained about information about CHL and the importance of knowing CHL in infants. Here’s the explanation.
Rarely Known Crown-Heel Lenght (CHL)
Crown-Heel Lenght (CHL) is a benchmark in observing linear development and growth and nutritional status in infants from birth to age 2. CHL is widely described in the health literature, but accurate and precise measurements of CHL are still often overlooked. So with heterogeneity that can be observed in each health study can explain the accuracy of CHL to infants less than 2 years of age.
CHL measurements can be done using a measuring tape, anthropometric rods, paper and pencils, measuring boards, or infantometers. Differences in measurement accuracy are also affected by the gauge used. It is so difficult to compare CHL measurements across health studies. CHL is generally measured with both legs straightened and cooperation as a subject is important to obtain precise measurement results.
The Importance of Knowing CHL on Early
Knowing CHL in children is an important indicator in monitoring infant nutrition. CHL measurements of infants can be done in the position of one foot or two feet. The average ideal size of CHL in a newborn is as follows:
One-foot: 52.30 cm
Both-feet: 50.48 cm
With this number, it can be known that there is a difference in the average length of measurement with the position of one foot with both legs. CHL measurement with a one-foot position is longer than the position of both legs.
To measure CHL in children more comfortably and safely done using a measuring board or infantometer board. Because the position of the baby can sleep on his back and facilitate the gauge in recording CHL numbers.
At the time of measuring the baby CHL all clothing, diapers, and all head coverings or hairpieces are removed. Then the baby is placed on the infantometer board that is flat with the head propped up. Then, the gauge gently holds and puts pressure on the knee to straighten the legs. In addition, make sure also the hips and shoulders are aligned on the right subdue against the axis of body length and the spine is not curved. Next, the gauge will slide the footboard along the base until it is flat with the soles of the feet, and record digital measurements and counters until the numbers appeared accurate. This will get the right CHL numbers.
