OBJECTIVE
To study the distribution of waist circumference (WC) in a representative group of Chinese children for establishing the Chinese WC cut-off points.
METHODS
Cross-sectional data obtained from 15 mainland provinces and Hong Kong were collected. There were 178 865 children and adolescents, aged 7 - 18 years-old in total. All subjects were divided into five regional groups-costal city, non-coastal city, northern rural, southern rural, and Hong Kong, for analyzing the distribution of WC.
RESULTS
Large variations in WC distribution were found among Netherlands demonstrated the necessity of setting up China's own WC cutoffs. Sex and age-specific percentiles were obtained and smoothed by using the LMS method.
CONCLUSION
Data obtained from this study could be used to develop the national WC cutoff points for Chinese children and adolescents.
