This study aimed to update growth reference values for height, weight and head circumference in order to reflect the changes in body size in the Swedish population during the past two decades. The data came from a large longitudinal growth study on 3650 full-term healthy Swedish children who were born between 1973 and 1975. All of these 1801 girls and 1849 boys had longitudinal data for height and weight from birth to final height. Comparison with previous Swedish growth reference values based on children born between 1955 and 1958 revealed that there have been secular changes in body size. For instance, at 18 y of age, the updated height and weight reference values are 180.4 cm for males and 167.7 cm for females, i.e. 1.9 cm taller and 5.7 kg heavier for males and 2.3 cm taller and 3.4 kg heavier for females compared with the previous reference values.
These new growth reference values provide current national standards for growth monitoring and evaluation since the year 2000.
本研究旨在更新身高、体重和头围的生长参考值，以反映瑞典人群在过去二十年中身体尺寸的变化。数据来自一项对1973年至1975年出生的3650名足月健康瑞典儿童进行的大型纵向生长研究。这1801名女孩和1849名男孩均有从出生到最终身高的身高和体重纵向数据。与基于1955年至1958年出生儿童的瑞典先前生长参考值相比，发现身体尺寸存在长期变化。例如，18岁时，更新后的身高和体重参考值男性为180.4厘米，女性为167.7厘米，即与先前参考值相比，男性高1.9厘米、重5.7千克，女性高2.3厘米、重3.4千克。
这些新的生长参考值为2000年以来的生长监测和评估提供了当前国家标准。
