Annual measurements of skinfold thicknesses at six sites (triceps, biceps, medial calf, subscapular, abdominal, and suprailiac) and the body mass index have been obtained from a sample of native Hawaiian school children and their non-Hawaiian classmates in a four year semilongitudinal study. Four cohorts were measured, with the children beginning the study in grades one, four, seven and ten, respectively. Information on percentage of Polynesian ancestry, identity with Hawaiian culture, social class, and income were obtained from family interviews for the native Hawaiian children. Hawaiian boys at most ages surveyed are significantly fatter than their classmates on trunk sites, and are also fatter than National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey II (NHANES-II) medians. Native Hawaiian girls have significantly greater trunk skinfold measures than classmates in only one surveyed age group. The percentage of Polynesian ancestry in this admixed sample of Hawaiian children is significantly related to fatness and body mass among children aged 9-12 years, but is not clearly related to fatness in other age groups. Socioeconomic measures are also not related to fatness in a simple manner. Intensive study of specific sex-age groups may be required to identify factors that influence the amount of fatness of native Hawaiian school children. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
在一项为期四年的半纵向研究中，对一组夏威夷本地学童及其非夏威夷同学样本进行了六个部位（肱三头肌、肱二头肌、小腿内侧、肩胛下、腹部和髂嵴上）皮褶厚度的年度测量以及体重指数测量。共测量了四个队列，孩子们分别在一年级、四年级、七年级和十年级开始这项研究。从对夏威夷本地儿童的家庭访谈中获取了有关波利尼西亚血统百分比、与夏威夷文化的认同、社会阶层和收入的信息。在大多数被调查年龄组中，夏威夷男孩在躯干部位比他们的同学明显更胖，并且也比第二次全国健康和营养检查调查（NHANES-II）的中位数更胖。夏威夷本地女孩仅在一个被调查年龄组中躯干皮褶测量值比同学显著更大。在这个夏威夷儿童混合样本中，9至12岁儿童的波利尼西亚血统百分比与肥胖和体重显著相关，但在其他年龄组中与肥胖的关系不明显。社会经济指标与肥胖之间也没有简单的关联。可能需要对特定的性别 - 年龄组进行深入研究，以确定影响夏威夷本地学童肥胖程度的因素。© 1992威利 - 利斯公司
