摘要
通过对2448名7~18岁儿童、青少年身高和体重的调查,研究了W/H、W/H~2和W/H~3三个指数与儿童、青少年身高、体重的关系。结果表明,在三个指数中,W/H~2与身高相关性最小,与体重的相关系数仅次于W/H,W/H~2似更适合作为评价儿童肥胖的指数。而不同年龄性别儿童、青少年的W/H~2指数应不尽相同。
The study examined several weight for height indices-W/H,W/H2 and W/H3-for their suitableness in estimating obesity in childhood and adolescence. Data were obtained from a sample of 2448 children and adolescents aged 7-18 residing in Hefei. The results showed that as compared with W/H and W/H3, W/H2 was highly correlated with weight and lower with height. It suggested that W/H2 was the most useful index in estimating obesity in childhood and adolescence. The estimating standards of obesity were made, depending on the percentiles of W/H2 by sex and age.
