The aim of this study was to describe anthropometric indexes of fat distribution in 6.0 to 14.9 year old children and to estimate the timing of differentiation of fat patterning in male and female children and adolescents.
We have studied a sample of 1,360 children (701 boys and 659 girls) from Zaragoza, Spain. We have measured triceps and subscapular skinfold thicknessess and waist and hip circumferences. With these measurements, we have calculated the indexes of fat distribution including waist-to-hip circumference ratio and triceps-to-subscapular skinfold thickness ratio. We present the percentiles of these indexes.
All percentiles of the waist-to-hip ratio were higher in males than in females. Percentiles 5, 50 and 95 of the triceps-to-subscapular skinfold thickness ratio showed similar values in males and females, except that percentile 95 was higher in males than in females after 10.5 years.
The waist-to-hip ratio seems to define earlier the pattern of fat distribution in children than does the triceps-to-subscapular skinfold thickness ratio. If we take into account the waist-to-hip ratio, the pattern of fat distribution is already present in school age children.
本研究旨在描述6.0至14.9岁儿童脂肪分布的人体测量指标，并估计男童和女童及青少年脂肪分布模式分化的时间。
我们研究了来自西班牙萨拉戈萨的1360名儿童样本（701名男孩和659名女孩）。我们测量了肱三头肌和肩胛下皮褶厚度以及腰围和臀围。通过这些测量，我们计算了包括腰臀围比和肱三头肌与肩胛下皮褶厚度比在内的脂肪分布指标。我们给出了这些指标的百分位数。
腰臀比的所有百分位数在男性中均高于女性。肱三头肌与肩胛下皮褶厚度比的第5、50和95百分位数在男性和女性中显示出相似的值，只是在10.5岁之后，第95百分位数在男性中高于女性。
与肱三头肌与肩胛下皮褶厚度比相比，腰臀比似乎更早地确定了儿童脂肪分布的模式。如果考虑腰臀比，脂肪分布模式在学龄儿童中就已经存在。
