There is no global reference value for the 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) in paediatric populations, as it can vary greatly depending on local characteristics and anthropometric measures. This study aimed to identify a 6MWD reference value that could be applied in both local and regional settings.
This cross-sectional multicentre study investigated a healthy paediatric population aged 4-18 years in Indonesia. The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) was conducted in accordance with the American Thoracic Society guidelines. Data were presented as the 6MWD according to age and sex per year. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted on the basis of the 6MWDpred Rizky formula.
A total of 634 participants were included in this study. Age, sex, weight, leg length and height affected the 6MWD (P<0.001). In the regression model, sex and height were the predictors of 6MWD, with height as the best single predictor.
The reference charts and 6MWDpred Rizky formula are applicable in multi-ethnic paediatric Indonesian populations but in limited settings.
儿童群体的6分钟步行距离（6MWD）没有全球参考值，因为它会因当地特征和人体测量指标的不同而有很大差异。本研究旨在确定一个可在当地和区域环境中应用的6MWD参考值。
这项横断面多中心研究对印度尼西亚4至18岁的健康儿童群体进行了调查。6分钟步行试验（6MWT）按照美国胸科学会指南进行。数据按每年的年龄和性别呈现为6MWD。基于6MWDpred Rizky公式进行单变量和多变量分析。
本研究共纳入634名参与者。年龄、性别、体重、腿长和身高影响6MWD（P<0.001）。在回归模型中，性别和身高是6MWD的预测因素，其中身高是最佳单一预测因素。
参考图表和6MWDpred Rizky公式适用于印度尼西亚多民族儿童群体，但适用范围有限。
