We examined the difference in the prevalence estimates of the outcome indicators for the new World Health Organization (WHO) child growth standard reference (WHO 2006) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)/WHO reference using the National Protein-Energy Malnutrition Survey dataset. Based on the NCHS/WHO reference, overall prevalence estimates of underweight, wasting, stunting and overweight were 17.8%, 7.4%, 10.9% and 1.3% compared to 11.3%, 7.6%, 13.0% and 1.9% respectively calculated according to the WHO 2006 reference: stunting and overweight showed statistically significantly higher estimates, whereas underweight was statistically significantly lower. The differences were not consistent across age groups.
我们使用国家蛋白质-能量营养不良调查数据集，研究了新的世界卫生组织（WHO）儿童生长标准参考值（WHO 2006）和国家健康统计中心（NCHS）/WHO 参考值的结局指标患病率估计值的差异。基于 NCHS/WHO 参考值，根据 WHO 2006 参考值计算的消瘦、消瘦、发育迟缓、超重的总体患病率估计值分别为 17.8%、7.4%、10.9%和 1.3%，而分别为 11.3%、7.6%、13.0%和 1.9%：发育迟缓与超重的估计值明显更高，而消瘦的估计值明显更低。这些差异在不同年龄组之间并不一致。
