BACKGROUND
This study aim to determine the association between height and cancer in the children aged 14 years at the time of diagnosis in Rasht, Iran.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In this cross-sectional study, height of patients with a malignancy (≤14) at the time of diagnosis measured in the standard charts of United States National Center for the Health Statistics (NCHS). Data were reported by descriptive statistics and analyzed by Regression tests in SPSS version 19.
RESULTS
Overall, 78 male (38.6%) and 124 female (61.4%) patients with various kinds of malignancies were evaluated for their heights. Leukemia was the most common type of cancer. The median height of the patients was more than 20(th) percentile and under 50(th) percentile of the NCHS. No significant association was found between height and leukemia.
CONCLUSION
Previously, the median height of Iranian girls and boys (≤15) reported under 20(th) percentile of the NCHS. In this study, the median height of the patients at the time of diagnosis was more than 20(th) percentile of the NCHS. There was a correlation between height and cancer among our patients, although, this correlation can be assessed by further cohort study.
背景
本研究旨在确定伊朗拉什特地区确诊时年龄为14岁的儿童身高与癌症之间的关联。
材料与方法
在这项横断面研究中，根据美国国家卫生统计中心（NCHS）的标准图表测量了确诊时患有恶性肿瘤（≤14岁）患者的身高。数据通过描述性统计进行报告，并在SPSS 19版中通过回归测试进行分析。
结果
总体而言，对78名男性（38.6%）和124名女性（61.4%）患有各种恶性肿瘤的患者进行了身高评估。白血病是最常见的癌症类型。患者的中位身高高于NCHS的第20百分位数且低于第50百分位数。未发现身高与白血病之间存在显著关联。
结论
此前，伊朗女孩和男孩（≤15岁）的中位身高报告低于NCHS的第20百分位数。在本研究中，确诊时患者的中位身高高于NCHS的第20百分位数。我们的患者中身高与癌症之间存在相关性，不过，这种相关性可通过进一步的队列研究进行评估。
