Schonbeck, Y. (author)Background: Monitoring human growth is important. It is used to detection of abnormal growth trajectories of children, which may reflect nutritional problems or underlying illness.

de Jong-Lenters, M. (author), van Dommelen, P. (author), Schuller, A.A. (author), Verrips, E.H.W. (author)Background Obesity and dental caries are widely-recognised problems that affect general health. The prevention of both dental caries and obesity have proven very difficult: children and their parents may need professional support to achieve behaviour change. To find out whether both dental caries and overweight in childhood can be targeted using...article 2015
