The aim of the study was to analyze the secular trends in height, weight and body mass index (BMI) of children in a Turkish primary school in a 23-year time interval.
The height, weight and BMI of 1099 children between 7 and 15 years old were measured. Data were compared to those of children of the same ages from previous measurements carried out in 1993 (867 children) and in 2003 (1214 children) in the same school. The changes in weight, height and BMI were determined and analyzed statistically.
Weight increments between 7.7 and 16.2 kg/23 years and height increments between 1.1 and 8.3 cm/23 years were observed in boys. For girls, weight increments between 6.5 and 13.4 kg/23 years and height increments between 1.3 and 7.2 cm/23 years were indicated. Usually, there were significant height increments between 1993 and 2016 in both genders. However, there were no significant differences in height between 2003 and 2016 for all age groups. Furthermore, there were significant differences in BMI measurements in all age and gender groups between 1993 and 2016.
The secular ascending trend in height seems to stop between 2003 and 2016; however, increments in weight and mean BMI tend to continue in Turkish primary school children and adolescents.
本研究旨在分析一所土耳其小学23年间儿童身高、体重和体重指数(BMI)的长期变化趋势。
测量了1099名7至15岁儿童的身高、体重和BMI。将这些数据与该校1993年(867名儿童)和2003年(1214名儿童)之前测量的同年龄段儿童的数据进行比较。确定并统计分析体重、身高和BMI的变化。
观察到男孩体重增加7.7至16.2千克/23年,身高增加1.1至8.3厘米/23年。女孩体重增加6.5至13.4千克/23年,身高增加1.3至7.2厘米/23年。通常,1993年至2016年期间,两性身高均有显著增加。然而,2003年至2016年期间,所有年龄组的身高均无显著差异。此外,1993年至2016年期间,所有年龄和性别组的BMI测量值均有显著差异。
2003年至2016年期间,身高的长期上升趋势似乎停止;然而,土耳其小学生和青少年的体重和平均BMI仍有增加趋势。
