Abstract

 Background: Obesity has become one of the most important health problems worldwide. Body mass index (BMI) is a clinical assessment of overweight and obesity in children, although mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) assessment is more straightforward, especially for parents. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between MUAC and BMI in children aged 6-12 years. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 455 elementary school children aged 6-12, including 278 girls and 177 boys with a mean age of 8. 8 ,1. 8 years selected using the census method. Our researcher was trained for anthropometric data collection. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 25 software using Mann-Whitney, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results: The mean age was 9. 19 ,1. 8 years, the mean height was 135 ,12 cm, the mean weight was 31. 85 ,11 kg, the mean MUAC was 21 ,3. 1 cm, and the mean BMI was 17 ,3. 6 kg/m2. There was a signifi, cant correlation between MUAC and BMI in both sexes, but it was stronger in girls than in boys (P-value < 0. 05). The MUAC cutoff,point was 23. 75 cm (77% sensitivity and 80% specifi, city) and 24. 75 cm (93% sensitivity and 88% specifi, city) for overweigh and obesity in girls, respectively. Also, it was 23. 25 cm (88% sensitivity and 83% specifi, city) and 25. 25 cm (87% sensitivity and 90% specifi, city) for overweigh and obesity in boys, respectively. Conclusions: We recommend MUAC as a predictor of early diagnosis of overweight and obesity.
