To describe changes in the distribution of body mass index among Chinese children in China from 1991 to 2006.
This paper was based on data collected in the China Health and Nutrition Survey in 1991 and 2006, and the subjects were 6- 17-years-old. Tukey mean-difference plots were used to investigate the changes in the distribution of BMI within sex-age groups.
The distribution of BMI among Chinese children in 2006 was different from that in 1991 for all sex-age groups, there was increasing positive skewness with a greater shift in the upper part of the distribution.
The children in the upper part of the BMI distribution may be more susceptible to the changes of environment than those in the lower parts. So the causes for the increase in obesity should be sought in part at the population level than focusing on individuals.
描述1991年至2006年中国儿童体重指数分布的变化情况。
本文基于1991年和2006年中国健康与营养调查收集的数据,研究对象为6至17岁儿童。采用Tukey均值差异图研究各性别年龄组体重指数分布的变化。
2006年中国儿童的体重指数分布与1991年相比,所有性别年龄组均有不同,正偏态增加,分布上部的变化更大。
体重指数分布上部的儿童可能比下部的儿童更容易受到环境变化的影响。因此,肥胖增加的原因应部分从人群层面寻找,而非仅关注个体。
