摘要

背景:身材矮小会影响儿童的身心健康。关于利比亚儿童身材矮小患病率的数据有限。目标:我们旨在确定利比亚的黎波里学童中身材矮小的普遍性。患者和方法:在这项横断面研究中,我们纳入了419名学童(235名男孩和184名女孩),他们来自的黎波里市不同的小学和预备学校。该研究于2009年4月至2010年10月期间进行。经过培训的儿科医生进行了人体测量(即身高和体重)。使用WHO-2007 Z评分图和UK-WHO生长图来计算身材矮小的患病率(定义为在相同性别和年龄中身高<2的标准差分数)。结果:使用WHO-2007 Z评分和UK-WHO增长图,身材矮小的总体患病率分别为5.0%和5.7%。(4.3%为中度,0.7%为重度)。使用2007年世界卫生组织参考数据,男孩和女孩身材矮小的患病率没有显著差异(5.5%对4.3%;P=0.656),应用UK-WHO增长图时,男孩和女孩的身材矮小患病率之间没有差异(6.8%对4.3%;P=0.3)。身材矮小(增长)的患病率与学生年龄的增长之间存在统计学显著关系。结论:身材矮小在儿童中并不罕见;他们需要早期评估,因为在这种情况下,干预时间至关重要。

The prevalence of short stature among school children and adolescents in Tripoli, Libya in 2009-2010
Background: Short stature has an impact on children's physical and mental health. Data on the prevalence of short stature in Libyan children are limited. Objectives: We aimed to ascertain the prevalence of short stature among school children in Tripoli, Libya. Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we included 419 school children (235 boys and184 girls) selected from different primary and preparatory schools in the City of Tripoli. The study was conducted between April 2009 and October 2010. Trained pediatricians took their anthropometric measurements (i.e., height and weight). The WHO-2007 Z-score charts and UK-WHO growth charts were used to calculate the prevalence of short stature (defined as standard deviation score of height <2 in same gender and age). Results: The overall prevalence of short stature using WHO-2007 Z-score and UK-WHO growth charts were 5.0% and 5.7%, respectively. (4.3% was moderate and 0.7% was severe). Boys and girls had no significant difference in the prevalence of short stature using 2007 WHO reference data (5.5% vs. 4.3%; P = 0.656). Similarly, there was no difference between the prevalence of short stature between boys and girls when applying UK-WHO growth charts (6.8% vs. 4.3%; P = 0.3). There is a statistically significant relationship between the prevalence of short stature (increase) and students' increasing age. Conclusions: Short stature is not an uncommon problem in children; they need early assessment because intervention time is crucial in this condition.
