Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To construct waist percentiles for 6-11-year-old Turkish children in Elazig Province, Eastern Anatolia.

METHODS

This cross-sectional study was performed with 3342 (1708 boys and 1634 girls) children from March to June 2007. Waist circumferences (WC) were measured between the lowest rib and the superior iliac crest, and centile curves were constructed with the Lambda-Mu-Sigma (LMS) method.

RESULTS

Towards 6-11 years, WC 50th percentile ranged from 57.54 to 67.04 cm in boys and 55.77 to 64.58 cm in girls. For both genders, WC increased with age. At each age, boys had higher WC values than girls. For the entire sample, mean WC was 62.5 +/- 6.8 cm for boys and 59.8 +/- 6.2 cm for girls. Median WC was 62.0 cm (32.0-90.0) for boys and 59.0 cm (46.0-87.0) for girls.

CONCLUSIONS

The large differences in the values obtained worldwide emphasize the necessity of providing population-specific WC reference curves from different populations, which in turn may result in an international reference standard similar to that provided for body mass index.

摘要

目的

构建安纳托利亚东部埃拉泽省6至11岁土耳其儿童的腰围百分位数。

方法

这项横断面研究于2007年3月至6月对3342名儿童（1708名男孩和1634名女孩）进行。在最低肋骨和髂嵴上方测量腰围（WC），并采用Lambda-Mu-Sigma（LMS）方法构建百分位数曲线。

结果

在6至11岁期间，男孩的WC第50百分位数范围为57.54至67.04厘米，女孩为55.77至64.58厘米。对于两性，WC均随年龄增加。在每个年龄，男孩的WC值均高于女孩。对于整个样本，男孩的平均WC为62.5±6.8厘米，女孩为59.8±6.2厘米。男孩的WC中位数为62.0厘米（32.0 - 90.0），女孩为59.0厘米（46.0 - 87.0）。
