An increase in the prevalence of obesity has been observed in children and adolescents. As remarkable changes in body composition occur with growth during the adolescent period, it is important that changes in body composition be monitored. The purpose of this study was to propose reference percentile values for body composition indices including body mass index (BMI) in children and adolescents in Korea.
This study was performed using data from the Fourth and Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Body composition data were obtained using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The percentile curves of body composition indices were constructed by the LMS method.
A total of 2123 children and adolescents between the ages of 10 and 19 years were included in this study. We obtained the percentile curves for BMI and body composition indices.
The reference values for body composition from this study could help with assessing body composition in Korean adolescents.
在儿童和青少年中观察到肥胖患病率有所上升。由于青春期生长过程中身体成分会发生显著变化,监测身体成分的变化很重要。本研究的目的是提出韩国儿童和青少年身体成分指标(包括体重指数(BMI))的参考百分位数。
本研究使用了第四次和第五次韩国国家健康与营养检查调查的数据。身体成分数据通过双能X线吸收法获得。身体成分指标的百分位数曲线通过LMS方法构建。
本研究共纳入2123名10至19岁的儿童和青少年。我们获得了BMI和身体成分指标的百分位数曲线。
本研究得出的身体成分参考值有助于评估韩国青少年的身体成分。
