Four hundred seventy-nine children (249 males and 230 females) from 2 to 18 years old were measured for height and weight and the data were plotted by percentiles. When the growth curves for height of the refugee children were compared with those of children in the United States, the 75th...
Overweight was 148.5% (120-200%) over the 50th percentile of weight/height. In patients 6-12y (n = 165), two approaches were compared : group (GT) and individual (IT) treatment. GT consisted of 8 sessions (children and their parents simultaneously but separatedly) with a reevaluation at...
The way to screen for obesity is by assessing BMI, or body mass index, which is calculated from a child's height and weight and is plotted on a growth chart. Obesity is defined as a BMI at or above the 95th percentile for a child's age and sex. Childhood and adolescent obesity can ...
Body mass index (BMI) for parents was calculated based on self-reported weight and height. While these for children according to their measurements. Child BMI values were then converted into age and sex appropriate BMI-for-age percentile for each subject using CDC/NCHS BMI-for-age percentile ...
At visit 1, compared with the lowest BPA exposure, height Z score in boys decreased by 0.49 at the exposure level above 90th percentile (10.9 μg/g creatinine) (adjusted β = −0.49; 95%CI: −0.96, −0.01; p-trend = 0.024). An inverse but a bit weaker association...
also, the 50th percentile of height was between 25th and 50th percentiles of NCHS up to 10 year; it was deviated toward 25th percentile at 10 year (p<0.05). These results show that the nutrition status of children has been ... K Hajian 被引量: 2发表: 2000年 加载更多来源...
a 10-year-old boy of average height (56 inches) who weighs 102 pounds would have a BMI of 22.9 kg/m2. This would place the boy in the 95th percentile for BMI - meaning that his BMI is greater than that of 95% of similarly aged boys in this reference population - and he would be...
Cross-sectional height and weight measurements of 14,842 children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 y from Hong Kong's 18 districts were obtained during the 2005/6 school year. Percentile curves were constructed using LMS method and sex-specific percentile values of weight-for-age, height-for-age,...
The participating parent and child had their weight measured using a Tanita digital scale (Arlington Heights, IL) and height using a digital stadiometer (Quick Medical, Issaquah, WA). Percent body fat was determined by bioelectrical impedance through the digital scale (Tanita, Arlington Heights, IL...
Understanding the ocular structural changes are fundamental to defining strategies for myopia prevention and management. This study aimed to establish age-gender specific normative LMS parameters for axial length to generate percentile and Z-score growth
