Objective Height velocity is a crucial anthropometric parameter for the evaluation of mild- or recent-onset short stature; however, there is no data on height velocity in South Indian children. We undertook this study to establish the normative data. Methods This prospective longitudinal study included 3327 apparently healthy children aged three to 18 years from government and private schools of Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh. Height and weight were measured at baseline and three-monthly intervals for one year (October 2018 to October 2019). Results Age- and sex-specific height velocity percentiles were generated. The data was available in 1627 boys and 1700 girls. The mean peak height velocity (PHV) was 7.18±2.56 cm in boys observed at 12-12.9 years and 5.8±2.56 cm in girls at 10-10.9 years. Conclusion Normative height velocity data for South Indian children has been presented.
目的 身高增长速度是评估轻度或近期起病的身材矮小的关键人体测量参数；然而，关于南印度儿童身高增长速度尚无数据。我们开展本研究以建立正常数据。方法 这项前瞻性纵向研究纳入了来自安得拉邦克里希纳区政府和私立学校的3327名3至18岁的健康儿童。在基线时以及之后一年（2018年10月至2019年10月）每三个月测量一次身高和体重。结果 生成了按年龄和性别的身高增长速度百分位数。1627名男孩和1700名女孩的数据可用。男孩在12至12.9岁时观察到的平均身高增长高峰（PHV）为7.18±2.56厘米，女孩在10至10.9岁时为5.8±2.56厘米。结论 已给出南印度儿童的身高增长速度正常数据。
