Assessment of the growth of children with parasite infection by using WHO standard

目的应用WHO标准评价安徽省部分寄生虫调查点感染儿童的生长发育状况。方法对6个调查县11个点的141例3～12岁感染儿童进行身高和体重的测量,EPIinfo2002软件录入测量数据,软件按WHO标准自动计算BMI、H/A、W/A、W/H和这些指标的Z值及百分位数。结果以WHO标准为参考,66.67%感染儿童的BMI平均Z值低于WHO标准,且平均Z值随年龄的增长呈下降趋势;各年龄组儿童的年龄别身高、年龄别体重、身高别体重的百分位数属于下等(<P3)分别占20.57%、8.50%和3.42%,属于上等(>P97)的比例只有1.42%、1.42%和4.26%;三项的Z值分析显示感染儿童未达到正常水平。结论提示寄生虫感染可能伴随其它因素共同发挥作用,影响儿童的生长发育。

Objective To Assess children＇s physical growth by using WHO standard in the rural areas of Anhui province. Methods Height and weight 141 children, whose age were from 3 to 12 years old with parasite infection, were measured. BMI,HAP,WAP,WHP and Z scores were calculated and the data was analyzed by EPI info 2002 software. Results 66.67% children＇s average Z scores of BMI were below the WHO standard. It showed a tendency that the average Z scores of BMI declined with increasing of age. The HAP,WAP,WHP in every age groups with the lower class（〈P3） were 20.57%,8.50% and 3.42% respectively.
