This research includes a study of body mass index (BMI) measurement for 11-year-old students (n = 174) within a rural county during the 2005-2006 academic year. School entry assessments were used to determine students' individual BMIs longitudinally and determine prevalence of risk of overweight (weighted for gender and age). Results were provided to county school districts and communities, which used the data to determine policy and curriculum changes related to school wellness program planning and development, develop wellness activities, and pursue funding support. This study has implications for data collection and school health program development within a rural setting.
这项研究包括对2005 - 2006学年一个农村县内11岁学生（n = 174）的体重指数（BMI）测量。入学评估用于纵向确定学生的个体BMI，并确定超重风险的患病率（按性别和年龄加权）。结果提供给了县学区和社区，它们利用这些数据来确定与学校健康计划规划和发展相关的政策和课程变化、开展健康活动以及寻求资金支持。这项研究对农村地区的数据收集和学校健康计划发展具有启示意义。
