The Gomez classification. Time for a change?

M Gueri, J M Gurney, P Jutsum
PMCID: PMC2395976  PMID: 6975186

Abstract

The Gomez classification of nutritional status is well known and widely used. However, it has a considerable number of drawbacks and it is questionable whether it should continue to be used. The history of the classification, its value, and its disadvantages are examined and an alternative classification based on more recent reference values of weight-for-age is proposed.
