679例黎族儿童营养状况调查——以上臂围与体重身长对比分析

Evaluation of the Nutritional Status in 679 Children of Li Minority—Compare of the mid-upper-arm circumference with weight and height

上臂围是评价儿童营养状况和生长发育的简易而有效的指标。1989年11月我们对海南省乐东县黎族地区679名(男375、女304名)7—14岁学龄儿童进行了上臂围、体重、身长的准确测量。上臂围值处于15—24cm 之间,并随年龄增长而增加,与体重有高度相关性。同时与北京市区7—12岁902名学龄儿童上臂围测量值比较,除11岁年龄组外,各年龄组均低于北京市区学龄儿童上臂围值。两地区儿童上臀围值有显著性差异(P<0.05—0.01)。

The mid—upper—arm circumference(MUAC)is a simple and efficacious indicator to evalute the nutritional status of the growth and development of children.In November 1989,the measure of the MUAC,weight and height in 679 children(375 boys,304 girls),aged 7—14 of Li Minority in Lodong County,Hainan had been made.The range of MUAC measure the is 15—24cm,increasing with the age,and is highly related to the weight.Value of MUAC in each age group is lower in com paring with that of 902 children in Beijing city community,the group differences are highly significant (P<0.05—0.01).
