To assess weight velocity and the age at peak weight velocity and to construct weight velocity percentiles in 4-17-year-old apparently healthy Indian children.
This longitudinal study enrolled 1045 children (588 boys) from Pune belonging to middle and upper socioeconomic class aged 4-17 years. The study parameters included annual height and weight measurements recorded longitudinally from 2007 to 2013. A total of 5225 weight velocity measurements (2940 on boys) were computed. Age- and gender-specific smoothened weight velocity percentiles (3rd, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th and 97th) were constructed using LMS chart maker.
The median weight velocity was low in boys and girls at 4 years, thereafter it increased to a peak of 4.6 kg/year at 13 years in boys, then declined to 1.1 kg/year at 17.5 years. In girls, median weight velocity peaked to 4.0 kg/year at 11 years, then declined to 0.8 kg/year at 17.5 years. Peak velocity-centred analysis revealed higher peak velocities of 7.5 kg/year at 13.1 years and 6.6 kg/year at 12 years in boys and girls respectively.
Weight velocity percentiles are presented for 4-17-year-old apparently healthy Indian children.
评估 4-17 岁印度健康儿童的体重增长速度及其达到峰值的年龄，并构建体重增长速度百分位数。
本纵向研究纳入了来自浦那的 1045 名儿童（588 名男孩），他们来自中上层社会阶层，年龄在 4-17 岁之间。研究参数包括 2007 年至 2013 年期间连续记录的年度身高和体重测量值。共计算了 5225 次体重增长速度测量值（2940 次为男孩）。使用 LMS 图表制作器构建了年龄和性别特异性平滑体重增长速度百分位数（第 3、10、25、50、75、90 和 97 百分位）。
男孩和女孩在 4 岁时的体重增长速度较低，然后在 13 岁时达到峰值，为 4.6kg/年，然后在 17.5 岁时下降至 1.1kg/年。在女孩中，体重增长速度的中位数在 11 岁时达到峰值，为 4.0kg/年，然后在 17.5 岁时下降至 0.8kg/年。基于峰值速度的中心化分析显示，男孩和女孩的峰值速度分别为 7.5kg/年和 6.6kg/年，出现在 13.1 岁和 12 岁。
为 4-17 岁印度健康儿童提供了体重增长速度百分位数。
