About Poshan Calculator & Child Growth

POSHAN Tracker calculations align with WHO (World Health Organization) growth metrics to identify and prevent child stunting (low height-for-age), wasting (low weight-for-height), and underweight conditions. In adult mode, Mifflin-St Jeor formula calculates energy expenditure to customize daily macronutrient splits.
