OBJECTIVE
Standard deviation score or Z-score reference charts are used in some countries in preference to percentile charts and are considered as better tools in assessing children with measurements outside the accepted limits of normality. Growth data for Istanbul children have previously been reported as percentiles; hence, the aim of this study is to present these data in Z-score reference tables. Data on secular trend in height in Turkish children will also be presented.
METHODS
Height and weight data based on a total of 11 664 height and 11 655 weight measurements in 1100 boys and 1020 girls between 6 and 18 years of age obtained by biannual visits to schools were analyzed. All children came from well-to-do families and were all healthy. All measurements were made by two trained technicians. The LMS method was used in the analyses. The results were expressed as Z-score values for age.
RESULTS
Heights of the boys and girls in all age groups were close to the updated USA growth references and showed an upward trend from previous data on Turkish children.
CONCLUSIONS
Height growth in Turkish school-age children of high socioeconomic level conforms to the updated growth data for USA children and also shows a secular trend. The data also point to the importance of updating local growth data periodically.
目的
一些国家更倾向使用标准差分数或Z分数参考图表而非百分位数图表，并且它们被视为评估测量值超出正常可接受范围儿童的更好工具。伊斯坦布尔儿童的生长数据此前已报告为百分位数；因此，本研究的目的是将这些数据呈现为Z分数参考表。还将展示土耳其儿童身高长期趋势的数据。
方法
分析了通过每两年对学校进行一次走访获得的1100名6至18岁男孩和1020名女孩的身高和体重数据，其中共有11664次身高测量和11655次体重测量。所有儿童均来自富裕家庭且身体健康。所有测量均由两名经过培训的技术人员进行。分析采用LMS方法。结果以年龄的Z分数值表示。
结果
所有年龄组男孩和女孩的身高均接近更新后的美国生长参考标准，并且与土耳其儿童先前的数据相比呈上升趋势。
结论
社会经济水平较高的土耳其学龄儿童的身高增长符合美国儿童更新后的生长数据，并且也呈现出长期趋势。这些数据还表明定期更新当地生长数据的重要性。
