The study aimed to briefly analyse the basic anthropometric characteristics of Ukrainian adolescents against their Polish counterparts. The study was school-based, carried out April-June 2022 and followed a cross-sectional model. It included 642 children from Poland and Ukraine (aged 10-15) who attended ten randomly selected primary schools in Kraków (Poland). Noticeable differences between Polish and Ukrainian adolescents were observed. As the analysed characteristics included features such as the amount and distribution of body fat, they can be crucial in the indirect assessment of health status, particularly the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. This in turn, can help to properly accommodate the changing needs of the population.
本研究旨在简要分析乌克兰青少年与波兰青少年的基本人体测量特征。该研究为基于学校的横断面研究,于 2022 年 4 月至 6 月进行,选取了波兰克拉科夫的 10 所随机选定的小学中的 642 名 10-15 岁儿童作为研究对象。研究观察到波兰和乌克兰青少年之间存在显著差异。由于所分析的特征包括体脂的数量和分布等特征,它们在间接评估健康状况,特别是心血管和代谢疾病风险方面至关重要。这反过来又有助于适当满足人口变化的需求。
