To develop a height and weight based equation to estimate total body water (TBW) in Sri Lankan children.
Cross sectional descriptive study done involving 5-15 year old healthy children. Height and weight were measured. TBW was assessed using isotope dilution method (D(2)O) and fat free mass (FFM) calculated. Multiple regression analysis was used to develop prediction equation and validated using PRESS statistical technique. Height, weight and sex code (male=1; female=0) were used as prediction variables.
This study provides height and weight equation for the prediction of TBW in Sri Lankan children. To the best of our knowledge there are no published height weight prediction equations validated on South Asian populations.
Results of this study need to be affirmed by more studies on other closely related populations by using multicomponent body composition.
建立一个基于身高和体重的方程，以估算斯里兰卡儿童的总体水（TBW）。
横断面描述性研究，涉及 5-15 岁健康儿童。测量身高和体重。使用同位素稀释法（D（2）O）评估 TBW，并计算去脂体重（FFM）。使用多元回归分析建立预测方程，并使用 PRESS 统计技术进行验证。身高、体重和性别代码（男性=1；女性=0）用作预测变量。
本研究提供了一个用于预测斯里兰卡儿童 TBW 的身高和体重方程。据我们所知，目前还没有发表的基于南亚人群验证的身高体重预测方程。
本研究结果需要通过使用多成分身体成分对其他密切相关人群进行更多研究来证实。
