Abstract

Background: Sociodemographic factors are important determinants of weight disorders. National representative studies provide a view on this health problem at national and regional levels.Objectives: This study aimed to assess the distribution of growth disorders in terms of BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) and height in 6-year-old Iranian CHILDren using geographical information system (GIS).Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional nationwide survey, all Iranian CHILDren entering public and private elementary schools were examined in a mandatory national screening program in 2009. Descriptive analysis was used to calculate the prevalence of underweight, overweight, obesity, and short stature. Then, ArcGIS software was used to draw the figures.Results: The study population consisted of 955388 CHILDren (48.5% girls and 76.5% urban). Overall, 20% of CHILDren were underweight, and 14.3% had high BMI, consisted of 10.9% overweight and 3.4% obese. The corresponding figure for short stature was 6.6%; however, these growth disorders were not equally distributed across various provinces.Conclusions: Our results confirmed unequal distribution of BMI and height of 6-year-old CHILDren in Iran generally and in most of its provinces particularly. The differences among provinces cannot be fully explained by the socioeconomic pattern. These findings necessitate a comprehensive national policy with provincial evidence-based programs.
