Abstract

Objective: To assess weight velocity and the age at peak weight velocity and to construct weight velocity percentiles in 4-17-year-old apparently healthy Indian children.

Method: This longitudinal study enrolled 1045 children (588 boys) from Pune belonging to middle and upper socioeconomic class aged 4-17 years. The study parameters included annual height and weight measurements recorded longitudinally from 2007 to 2013. A total of 5225 weight velocity measurements (2940 on boys) were computed. Age- and gender-specific smoothened weight velocity percentiles (3rd, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th and 97th) were constructed using LMS chart maker.

Results: The median weight velocity was low in boys and girls at 4 years, thereafter it increased to a peak of 4.6 kg/year at 13 years in boys, then declined to 1.1 kg/year at 17.5 years. In girls, median weight velocity peaked to 4.0 kg/year at 11 years, then declined to 0.8 kg/year at 17.5 years. Peak velocity-centred analysis revealed higher peak velocities of 7.5 kg/year at 13.1 years and 6.6 kg/year at 12 years in boys and girls respectively.

Conclusion: Weight velocity percentiles are presented for 4-17-year-old apparently healthy Indian children.

2007-2013 年间浦那 4-17 岁儿童的体重速度百分位数。

目的评估 4-17 岁表面健康的印度儿童的体重速度和体重速度峰值年龄，并构建体重速度百分位数：这项纵向研究招募了普纳的 1045 名 4-17 岁中上层社会经济阶层儿童（588 名男孩）。研究参数包括 2007 年至 2013 年期间纵向记录的年度身高和体重测量值。共计算出 5225 个体重速度测量值（2940 个男孩）。使用 LMS 图表制作软件构建了按年龄和性别分列的平滑体重速度百分位数（第 3、10、25、50、75、90 和 97 位）：结果：4 岁时，男孩和女孩的体重速度中位数都较低，此后，男孩的体重速度中位数在 13 岁时达到峰值，为 4.6 千克/年，然后在 17.5 岁时降至 1.1 千克/年。女孩的体重速度中位数在 11 岁时达到峰值 4.0 千克/年，然后在 17.5 岁时下降到 0.8 千克/年。以峰值速度为中心的分析显示，男孩和女孩的峰值速度较高，分别为 13.1 岁时的 7.5 千克/年和 12 岁时的 6.6 千克/年：本文介绍了 4-17 岁表面健康的印度儿童的体重速度百分位数。

期刊介绍： The general objective of Indian Pediatrics is "To promote the science and practice of Pediatrics." An important guiding principle has been the simultaneous need to inform, educate and entertain the target audience. The specific key objectives are: -To publish original, relevant, well researched peer reviewed articles on issues related to child health. -To provide continuing education to support informed clinical decisions and research. -To foster responsible and balanced debate on controversial issues that affect child health, including non-clinical areas such as medical education, ethics, law, environment and economics. -To achieve the highest level of ethical medical journalism and to produce a publication that is timely, credible and enjoyable to read.
