This study aimed to consolidate the body height, body weight, BMI, and nutrition status data of the overall young male population from the Municipality of Berane in order to assess the trajectories of those variables from 1979 to 1987. The sample of respondents included 8740 adolescents who were divided into nine groups according to their age. The sample of variables included body height, body weight, body mass index, and nutrition status, which were presented based on a long-established BMI categorization (underweight, normal weight, pre-obese, and obese). The descriptive statistics are expressed as the mean and standard deviation for each variable; the analysis of nutrition status was calculated based on BMI, while LSD post hoc testing with ANOVA was employed to investigate differences between the means. The results indicate that a secular trend is visible regarding body height and body weight, while no trend is visible for the BMI and nutrition status. This study's contribution is that it provides insight into more recently published data for the studied period and in this municipality, which can significantly aid in following the secular trend throughout Montenegro.
本研究旨在汇总来自贝拉内市全体年轻男性人口的身高、体重、体重指数和营养状况数据,以评估1979年至1987年这些变量的变化轨迹。受访者样本包括8740名青少年,他们根据年龄分为九组。变量样本包括身高、体重、体重指数和营养状况,这些数据基于长期确立的体重指数分类(体重过轻、正常体重、肥胖前期和肥胖)呈现。描述性统计数据以每个变量的均值和标准差表示;营养状况分析基于体重指数计算,同时采用方差分析后的最小显著差异检验来研究均值之间的差异。结果表明,身高和体重存在长期趋势,而体重指数和营养状况则没有趋势。本研究的贡献在于,它提供了对该研究时期以及该市最近公布数据的洞察,这对追踪整个黑山的长期趋势有显著帮助。
