The aim of the study was to develop waist circumference (WC) percentiles in Polish children and youth and to compare these with the results obtained in other countries. The study comprised a random group of 5663 Polish children aged 7-18 years. Smoothed WC percentile curves were computed using the LMS method. The curves displaying the values of the 50th (WC(50)) and the 90th (WC(90)) percentile were then compared with the results of similar studies carried out in children from the UK, Spain, Germany, Turkey, Cyprus, Canada and the USA. WC increased with age in both boys and girls and in all observed age periods the boys were seen to dominate. For 18-year-old Polish boys and girls the values of WC(90) were 86.5 and 78.2, respectively, and were lower than the current criteria developed by the International Diabetes Federation. Both WC(50) and WC(90) were higher in Polish boys and girls compared with their counterparts in the UK, Turkey and Canada and significantly lower than in children from the USA, Cyprus and Spain. The percentile curves for Polish children and youth, which were developed here for the first time, are base curves that can be applied in analysing trends as well as making comparisons with results of similar studies performed in other countries.
本研究旨在制定波兰儿童和青少年的腰围（WC）百分位数值，并将其与其他国家的结果进行比较。该研究包括了随机抽取的 5663 名年龄在 7-18 岁的波兰儿童。使用 LMS 方法计算了 WC 百分位曲线的平滑值。然后，将显示第 50 个百分位（WC(50)）和第 90 个百分位（WC(90)）值的曲线与在英国、西班牙、德国、土耳其、塞浦路斯、加拿大和美国开展的类似研究结果进行比较。男孩和女孩的 WC 均随年龄增长而增加，在所有观察到的年龄段中，男孩均占主导地位。对于 18 岁的波兰男孩和女孩，WC(90)的数值分别为 86.5 和 78.2，低于国际糖尿病联合会制定的当前标准。与英国、土耳其和加拿大的同年龄组相比，波兰男孩和女孩的 WC(50)和 WC(90)均更高，与美国、塞浦路斯和西班牙的儿童相比显著更低。本研究首次制定了波兰儿童和青少年的百分位曲线，这些曲线是基础曲线，可用于分析趋势以及与其他国家开展的类似研究结果进行比较。
