Monitoring of healthy children should include precise assessment of their nutritional status to identify children and adolescents at risk of nutrition disorders. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the nutritional status of healthy children using different nutritional risk screening tools.
The study sample consisted of 550 participants within the age range of 7-15 years. Anthropometric characteristics (body mass, height, body mass index) were collected using standard procedures. In addition, the following parameters were analyzed: fat mass, fat-free mass, body cell mass, and total body water.
The results revealed that variables such as children's age and sex significantly differentiated the values of selected components of the body composition.
This observation suggests that it is necessary to use different methods to evaluate nutritional status among healthy children.
健康儿童的监测应包括对其营养状况的精确评估，以识别有营养障碍风险的儿童和青少年。因此，本研究的目的是使用不同的营养风险筛查工具来评估健康儿童的营养状况。
研究样本由 550 名年龄在 7-15 岁之间的参与者组成。使用标准程序收集人体测量特征（体重、身高、体重指数）。此外，还分析了以下参数：脂肪量、去脂量、体细胞量和全身水量。
结果表明，儿童的年龄和性别等变量显著区分了身体成分的选定成分的值。
这一观察结果表明，有必要使用不同的方法来评估健康儿童的营养状况。
