Abstract

Objective

This study was intended to establish the percentile distribution of waist circumference in schoolchildren from Bogota, Colombia, participating in the FUPRECOL Study.

Methods

A cross-sectional study conducted in 3,005 children and 2,916 adolescents aged 9–17.9 years. Height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, and self-assessed sexual maturity status were recorded. Percentiles (3rd, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, and 97th) and smoothed sex- and age-specific curves were calculated, and the waist circumference values found were compared to international references from other ethnic populations.

Results

Fifty-seven percent of the overall population (n = 5,921) were females (mean age, 12.7 ± 2.3 years). In most age groups, waist circumference was greater in boys as compared to girls. The increase between the 50th and 97th percentiles by age was 15.7 cm in boys aged 9–9.9 years and 16.0 cm in girls aged 11–11.9 years. Comparison of our study results, by age group and sex, to international references showed that our 50th percentile was lower than reported in Peru and the UK except for studies in India, Venezuela (Merida), US, and Spain was higher.

Conclusions

Age- and sex-specific percentiles of waist circumference obtained from children and adolescents from Bogota, Colombia, are reported. They may be used as a reference both for nutritional assessment and for predicting cardiovascular risks at early ages.

哥伦比亚学童和青少年的腰围分布:FUPRECOL研究
目的本研究旨在确定参与FUPRECOL研究的哥伦比亚波哥大学童的腰围百分位分布。方法对3005名9-17.9岁的儿童和2916名青少年进行横断面研究。记录身高、体重、腰围、臀围和自我评估的性成熟状态。计算百分比(第3、第10、第25、第50、第75、第90和第97)和平滑的性别和年龄特异性曲线,并将发现的腰围值与其他种族人群的国际参考值进行比较。结果5921名女性(平均年龄12.7±2.3岁)占总人口的57%。在大多数年龄组中,男孩的腰围比女孩大。在第50个百分位数和第97个百分位位数之间,9至9.9岁男孩的增长幅度为15.7厘米,11至11.9岁女孩的增长幅度则为16.0厘米。根据年龄组和性别,我们的研究结果与国际参考文献的比较表明,我们的第50百分位低于秘鲁和英国的报告,但印度、委内瑞拉(梅里达)、美国和西班牙的研究更高。结论报告了哥伦比亚波哥大儿童和青少年腰围的年龄和性别特异性百分位数。它们可以作为营养评估和预测早期心血管风险的参考。
