Abstract

Background & Aim: Growth monitoring is a necessary part of routine medical health services all over the world. In growth monitoring, it is important to define standard values of growth indices for each country and human race. In this respect, the present study aimed to evaluate and determine growth indices for schoolboys and girls living in Tehran and to compare those indices with standard reference values.Patients & Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 2924 children consisting of 1412 healthy 6-17-yearold schoolgirls and 1512 healthy 6-15-year-old schoolboys living in Tehran, Iran, between 2001 and 2004. The samples were collected on the basis of multistage probability sampling. To be healthy was defined as the absence of systemic disorders and history of known diseases. All samples were examined and evaluated by a physician with regard to their WEIGHT and HEIGHT, and their precise age was also determined. The LMS method introduced by Cole et al was applied to estimate the standard percentiles using LMS Light software. The mean standard deviation score of samples was compared with NCHS(National Center for Health Statistics) standard using one sample t-test.Results: The percentiles 3, 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, and 97 - and 85 only for BMI - were calculated for HEIGHT, WEIGHT and BMI in boys and girls, and their corresponding graphs were plotted. There was no significant difference between the mean of boys’ HEIGHT, WEIGHT and BMI standard deviation scores and NCHS standards, but the girls’ HEIGHT and WEIGHT were significantly less than reference data.Conclusion: In conclusion, the results indicate that overall HEIGHT and WEIGHT of Iranian girls are less than reference values and this difference is more significant with regard to their HEIGHT. However, Iranian boys’ growth indices are similar to reference values up to 15 years of age.
