One of the mostly used and preferred method in following the growth of children is to plot weight and height values of the children on standard percentile charts. It is essential for each country to use its own populations' updated percentile curves. However, data on the growth of children living in different regions are also needed for comparison with the national standards.
This study was conducted in Kayseri with a trained team in order to obtain anthropometrical measurements in children and adolescents. Weight and height measurements from 5727 (2785 boys, 2942 girls) healthy school children (aged between 6 to 18 years) from all socioeconomic levels were randomly selected. Smoothed percentile curves were produced by LMS method.
Smoothed percentile curves including the percentile values for 3rd, 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 85th, 90th, 95th and 97th and standard deviation scores were calculated for boys and girls. The 3rd, 50th and 97th centiles of weight and height of these children were compared with the respective values of the established national standards obtained from Istanbul children.
This study presents data and smoothed percentile curves for weight and height measurement of healthy central Anatolia children aged 6 to 18 years. Nationwide studies are needed to bring out the regional differences in our country.
跟踪儿童生长情况最常用且首选的方法之一是将儿童的体重和身高值绘制在标准百分位图表上。每个国家使用本国人群更新后的百分位曲线至关重要。然而，为了与国家标准进行比较，也需要不同地区儿童生长的数据。
本研究在开塞利进行，由一个经过培训的团队对儿童和青少年进行人体测量。从社会经济各阶层随机选取了5727名（2785名男孩，2942名女孩）6至18岁健康在校儿童的体重和身高测量数据。采用LMS方法生成平滑百分位曲线。
计算了男孩和女孩包括第3、5、10、25、50、75、85、90、95和97百分位值以及标准差分数的平滑百分位曲线。将这些儿童体重和身高的第3、50和97百分位数与从伊斯坦布尔儿童获得的既定国家标准的相应值进行了比较。
本研究提供了安纳托利亚中部6至18岁健康儿童体重和身高测量的数据和平滑百分位曲线。需要进行全国性研究以揭示我国的地区差异。
