To study the prevalence of obesity in children in an affluent school in Hyderabad, Telangana, using the recent Indian Academy of Paediatrics (IAP) growth charts and to compare the same with the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) charts.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in an affluent school of Hyderabad in January 2018. After getting appropriate permission, anthropometry measurements of the school children were done. The data were collected from students of Classes 4-10. Each class had three sections. Each section had around 25-30 students. Body mass index (BMI), calculated as weight (kg)/height (m) was used to classify the participants using age- and gender-specific cut-points as per CDC growth charts and the recent IAP charts.
A total of 544 students were studied. About 52% were boys ( = 288) and 48% were girls ( = 256). Using the IAP charts, 24.6% were obese and 35.8% were overweight. Using the CDC criteria, the prevalence of obesity and overweight was 15.4% and 26.1%, respectively. The mean BMI in the obese group was 25.6 ± 3.5 kg/m and in the overweight group was 21.1 ± 1.9 kg/m. The prevalence of obesity and overweight was more in girls (obesity 32.8% versus 17.3% and overweight 44.5% versus 28.1%, respectively). The highest prevalence of childhood obesity was seen in the 8-10 years age group.
Our study reflects the increased prevalence of obesity and overweight in the adolescent age group, using the recent IAP criteria.
使用最新的印度儿科学会（IAP）生长图表研究印度特伦甘纳邦海得拉巴一所富裕学校儿童的肥胖患病率，并将其与美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的图表进行比较。
2018年1月在海得拉巴一所富裕学校进行了一项横断面研究。获得适当许可后，对该校儿童进行了人体测量。数据收集自4至10年级的学生。每个班级有三个班。每个班约有25至30名学生。根据体重（千克）/身高（米）计算的体重指数（BMI），按照CDC生长图表和最新的IAP图表中按年龄和性别的切点对参与者进行分类。
共研究了544名学生。约52%为男孩（n = 288），48%为女孩（n = 256）。使用IAP图表，24.6%为肥胖，35.8%为超重。使用CDC标准，肥胖和超重的患病率分别为15.4%和26.1%。肥胖组的平均BMI为25.6±3.5千克/米²，超重组为21.1±1.9千克/米²。女孩的肥胖和超重患病率更高（肥胖分别为32.8%对17.3%，超重分别为44.5%对28.1%）。儿童肥胖患病率最高的是8至10岁年龄组。
我们的研究反映了根据最新的IAP标准，青少年年龄组肥胖和超重患病率的增加。
