Abstract

One of the common ways to study the nutritional status of primary students is evaluation of their WEIGHT and HEIGHT PERCENTILEs. In this study 7258 students out of the total number of them were selected using cluster -randomized sampling and their WEIGHT and HEIGHT were compared with NCHS standards.Results showed that the fiftieth PERCENTILE of the boys and girls, WEIGHT in the age group of 7-12 is on the twenty - fifth PERCENTILE of NCHS standards and they are even placed under this PERCENTILE by increasing their age.This difference observed more on the WEIGHT of the children than their HEIGHT, so that, their HEIGHT at the end of PERCENTILE period was on the third PERCENTILE of the NCHS standards. The percentage of the children who are under the third PERCENTILE of NCHS WEIGHT becomes more with increase in age, and it reaches 27% at 12 years old. The same status is observed about HEIGHT too, so that at the age of 12 about 40% of the children placed under the third PERCENTILE of NCHS HEIGHT.Findings of this study are in accord with the results of the studies carried out in Qazvin and Isfahan, and show that Iranian children keep distance with standard amounts of WEIGHT and HEIGHT as their age increases. In general all Iranian children, at any age, have lower WEIGHT and HEIGHT than standard values.
