We sought to establish cross-sectional curves for body weight, height, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference for 4- to 18-year-old Greek boys and girls, using the empirical distribution and the Lambda Mu and Sigma (LMS) statistical method.
From March 2014 to May 2014, a total of 473,837 boys and girls aged 4 to 18 years who attended school in Greece were enrolled. The studied sample was representative, in terms of age-sex distribution and geographical region. Anthropometric indices measurements (i.e., height, weight and waist circumference) were performed and BMI was calculated and used to calculate normative values, using the percentiles of the empirical distributions and the LMS method.
Updated growth references for 4- to 18-year-old Greek children tabulated as critical percentiles and LMS values from 3 to 97 (P3, P10, P25, P50, P75, P90, P97) and smoothed curves are presented. Positive secular trends of height, weight and waist circumference were observed in children and adolescents 4 to 18 years old (all p values <0.001). At all ages, boys had higher anthropometric measurements than girls (all p values <0.01). Compared to 1998 data, mean height and weight were greater in 2014 for boys and girls at all ages.
Current national percentile curves for anthropometric indices could provide a more accurate estimation to assess physical growth in Greek children and adolescents. Hippokratia 2015; 19 (3): 239-248.
我们试图利用经验分布以及拉姆达缪和西格玛（LMS）统计方法，为4至18岁的希腊男孩和女孩建立体重、身高、体重指数（BMI）和腰围的横断面曲线。
2014年3月至2014年5月，共有473837名4至18岁在希腊上学的男孩和女孩被纳入研究。就年龄-性别分布和地理区域而言，所研究的样本具有代表性。进行了人体测量指标（即身高、体重和腰围）的测量，并计算了BMI，使用经验分布的百分位数和LMS方法来计算标准值。
列出了4至18岁希腊儿童的最新生长参考值，以关键百分位数和3至97（P3、P10、P25、P50、P75、P90、P97）的LMS值表示，并给出了平滑曲线。在4至18岁的儿童和青少年中观察到身高、体重和腰围呈正向长期趋势（所有p值<0.001）。在所有年龄段，男孩的人体测量值均高于女孩（所有p值<0.01）。与1998年的数据相比，2014年各年龄段男孩和女孩的平均身高和体重均更高。
当前国家人体测量指标百分位数曲线可为评估希腊儿童和青少年的身体生长提供更准确的估计。《希波克拉底》2015年；19（3）：239 - 248。
