Abstract

Introduction: One of the applicable methods in determination of the nutritional status and health is surveillance and assessment of the physical growth. Growth disorder and malnutrition can be determined in children by monitoring their growth trend using growth indicators. The aim of this study was to investigate the Height, Weight, and Body mass index (BMI) cutoff points of the 6-11 year-old children in the city of Yazd, Iran. Moreover, we compared the results with the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) standards. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we selected 2592 students in the age range of 6-11 years from 26 primary schools by cluster sampling. To collect the samples, all students of one class from each grade were selected in the academic year 2016-2017 in Yazd, Iran. Height, Weight, and BMI of the participants were measured. We applied the LMS Chartmarker software to analyze the participants' Height, Weight, and BMI according to age and gender. Later, we compared the findings with those of the WHO standards. Results: Height, Weight, and BMI percentiles of both genders were near to the NCHS standards. However, the 97th percentiles of Height and Weight for all boys as well as the 97th percentile of Weight for 9-10 years boys were higher than the standard. Furthermore, all these percentiles were higher than the standard for girls of 7-11 and 9-11 years. The 97th percentile of BMI was also higher than the standard for both genders. Conclusion: Due to the differences observed among the curves of Height, Weight, and BMI. We recommend the authorities to use the norms of this study for 6-11 year-old children of Yazd.
