Body weight and height in regard to age present an important indicator for evaluation of health status in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate body weight and height in regard to age in children of the North Backa Region (Subotica, Backa Topola and Mali Idos) compared to reference values.
Results of transversal anthropometric measurements performed from 1995-1998 of body weight and body height of 25.790 children aged 1-18 from Health Centers in North Backa Region have been statistically processed by software "CHILD". Body weight and height in regard to age were evaluated by standard deviation, according to international World Health Organization reference values and National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS/WHO).
Body weight was established (+2 standard deviation) in 9.33% children, while 1.14% had decreased body weight from -2 standard deviation. Obesity, as well as undernourishment, dominated among children from village Mali Idos. Body height higher than +2 standard deviation was registered in 8.07% children, mostly among boys from Backa Topola. Body height lower than -2 standard deviation was found in 2.10% children of our region.
Obesity in children aged 1-18, in our region is higher than in the children from UN regions and subregions. Only Russia has worse results generally speaking. In regard to the WHO Global Database of underweight children, we can say that in our children it is hardly present.
These findings reflect the need for prospective growth monitoring of children in our area and for health improvement through nutrition intervention programs.
相对于年龄的体重和身高是评估儿童健康状况的重要指标。本研究的目的是将北巴奇卡地区（苏博蒂察、巴奇卡托波拉和小伊多斯）儿童相对于年龄的体重和身高与参考值进行比较。
1995年至1998年对北巴奇卡地区健康中心25790名1至18岁儿童进行的横向人体测量结果，已通过“CHILD”软件进行了统计处理。根据国际世界卫生组织参考值和国家卫生统计中心（NCHS/WHO），通过标准差评估相对于年龄的体重和身高。
9.33%的儿童体重达到（+2标准差），而1.14%的儿童体重低于-2标准差。肥胖以及营养不良在小伊多斯村的儿童中占主导地位。8.07%的儿童身高高于+2标准差，主要是巴奇卡托波拉的男孩。本地区2.10%的儿童身高低于-2标准差。
我们地区1至18岁儿童的肥胖率高于联合国各区域和次区域的儿童。总体而言，只有俄罗斯的情况更糟。关于世界卫生组织全球体重不足儿童数据库，我们可以说在我们的儿童中几乎不存在这种情况。
这些发现反映了对我们地区儿童进行前瞻性生长监测以及通过营养干预计划改善健康状况的必要性。
