In this paper, 452 cases of infant malnutrition, by using two common evaluation methods, namely the traditional evaluation method and evaluation method recommended by WHO, to compare the two in order to understand the merits and scope for the majority of medical staff to provide a scientific basis. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General information I got from the county seat in 1995, children under 7 years old to carry out management of the child care system has to build card 8627 cases. In this 8627 case, we follow the traditional evaluation methods 452 patients diagnosed with malnutrition, which 212 cases of male and female 240 cases, aged 3 months to 3 years old. and then use the evaluation method recommended by WHO for its evaluation. 1.2 The evaluation criteria and methods 1.2.1 Evaluation of the traditional diagnosis of malnutrition, according to practical standards of Pediatrics [1]. Where the average infant weight than normal weight by 15% or more, the diagnostic criteria for the malnutrition. Which reduced by 15% to 25% of grade Ⅰ, reduce 25% to 40% of grade Ⅱ, Ⅲ for more than 40% reduction in the degree. 1.2.2 WHO evaluation method recommended by age, weight, height is three basic measure, measure the three combined to form three types of indicators. That is the height by age (weight for age, also known as weight for age, body weight by age (height for age, also known as height for age, body weight according to height (weight for height, also known as the weight for height. Index to less than three indicators to determine the median minus two standard deviations (-2SD as the standard, in Here we call evaluation criteria. Th
