To estimate trends in growth for 5 to 11 year old ethnic minority and inner city children and comparative representative samples from 1983 to 1994.
Mixed longitudinal.
At each of six surveys, more than 2000 inner city white, 1500 Urdu or Punjabi speaking, 5000 English representative white, 3000 Scottish representative white, and around 1000 Afro-Caribbean, 500 falling to 300 Gujarati speaking, and 260 increasing to 300 other Indian children.
Height, weight for height, and triceps skinfold thickness.
Height increased in all inner city groups by approximately 1.5 cm, but group differences were maintained. Trends in triceps skinfold varied, but increased by 4-12% in Indian subcontinent girls. Weight for height increased generally. Inner city white children showed conflicting trends in weight for height and fatness.
Afro-Caribbean children are maintaining their tall, slim build, but other groups emphasise the diversity of obesity patterns in a multi-ethnic society, with a predominant trend towards greater obesity. Monitoring of these groups should continue.
评估1983年至1994年期间5至11岁少数民族和内城区儿童以及具有比较代表性样本的生长趋势。
混合纵向研究。
在六次调查中的每次调查中，超过2000名内城区白人儿童、1500名说乌尔都语或旁遮普语的儿童、5000名英格兰代表性白人儿童、3000名苏格兰代表性白人儿童，以及约1000名非洲加勒比裔儿童、500名降至300名的说古吉拉特语的儿童，还有260名增至300名的其他印度裔儿童。
身高、身高对应的体重以及肱三头肌皮褶厚度。
所有内城区儿童组的身高均增加了约1.5厘米，但组间差异依然存在。肱三头肌皮褶厚度的趋势各不相同，但印度次大陆女孩增加了4%至12%。身高对应的体重总体上有所增加。内城区白人儿童在身高对应的体重和肥胖程度方面呈现出相互矛盾的趋势。
非洲加勒比裔儿童保持着高大苗条的体型，但其他群体凸显了多民族社会中肥胖模式的多样性，且有肥胖程度加剧的主要趋势。应对这些群体继续进行监测。
