The aim of this study was to construct new Croatian growth charts for body height and weight of boys and girls aged 6.5 to 18.5 years and to investigate differences between our and pre-existing studies. Analysis was based on a multistage stratified sample representative for school children aged 6.5 to 18.5, 6046 boys and 5656 girls. Growth reference was constructed using LMS method. Present results demonstrated an increment of body height and weight during the last two decades. Highest increase of body height is in boys aged 13-14 years 6.5 cm, in girls aged 12 years is 5.0 cm. Highest increase of body weight is in 16 year age group of boys 8.7 kg and in 11-12 year age group of girls 5.2 kg. In conclusion, regarding presence of secular trend because previously used growth charts in Croatia are obsolete.
本研究的目的是构建新的克罗地亚6.5至18.5岁男孩和女孩身高和体重生长图表，并调查我们的研究与先前研究之间的差异。分析基于对6.5至18.5岁学童具有代表性的多阶段分层样本，包括6046名男孩和5656名女孩。使用LMS方法构建生长参考标准。目前的结果表明，在过去二十年中身高和体重有所增加。身高增长最多的是13至14岁的男孩，增长了6.5厘米，12岁的女孩增长了5.0厘米。体重增长最多的是16岁的男孩，增长了8.7千克，11至12岁的女孩增长了5.2千克。总之，由于克罗地亚以前使用的生长图表过时，存在长期趋势。
