Body Fat Percentiles for German Children and Adolescents

Abstract: Objective: The aim of this study was to define body fat percentiles for German children and adolescents aged 3–16 years using the largest German database. Methods: The study population included 11,632 girls and 11,604 boys. Data were pooled from: i) Kiel Obesity Prevention Study (KOPS), acquisition period: 1996–2008, n = 12,237; ii) ‘Better diet. More exercise. KINDERLEICHT-REGIONS’, acquisition period: 2007, n = 9,405; and iii) examination of Jena schoolchildren, acquisition period: 2005, n = 1,594. Body fat … Show more

“…15,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] Among boys, %BF by BIA was lower than what has been observed in subjects from China, 28,29 Turkey, 30 Germany, 31 Greece, 32 Spain, 33 and the USA (Caucasians), 34 except for students from the United Kingdom 35 and African Americans from the USA. 35 Besides girls from Bogotá (Colombia), this was also observed in girls from Turkey, 30 Germany, 31 Greece, 32 Spain, 34 the USA (Caucasians and African Americans) 34 and the United Kingdom, 35 except for participants from China 28,29 (see Annex). According to 17 the clear sexual dimorphism, characterized by much higher %BF values among girls across all studied age groups versus boys is partially the result of sexual maturation processes, socioeconomic level, dietary patterns, physical activity levels, neurohormonal factors or ethnic factors typical of each population.…”

“…Este estudio presenta por primera vez en Bogotá, Colombia, tablas percentiles y curvas centílicas del %GC por BIA según edad y sexo, que podrán ser usadas como referencia en la evaluación del estado nutricional y la 30 Alemania, 31 Grecia, 32 España, 34 Estados Unidos (caucásicos y afroamericanos) 34 y Reino Unido, 35 con excepción de las participantes de China 28,29 (véase el Anexo en formato electrónico). Según González-Jiménez, 17 la existencia de un marcado dimorfismo sexual, caracterizado por valores muy superiores de %GC entre las mujeres en todos los grupos etarios estudiados frente a los varones, se debe, en parte, a procesos de maduración sexual, estrato socioeconómico, patrones dietarios, niveles de actividad física, factores neurohormonales o factores étnicos propios de cada población.…”

“…Sin aplicar procedimientos estadísticos, se puede observar que la mediana (P 50 ) de las mujeres revela un incremento armónico y progresivo en los valores del %GC con el avance de la edad hasta los 16,9 años, mientras que, en los varones, el P 50 describe una disminución progresiva hasta los 14,9 años. El comportamiento del %GC de las mujeres y de los varones estudiados de entre 9 y 13,9 años fue mayor que el reportado de niños del Reino Unido 35 e inferior a la mayoría de los estudios referenciados, 10,15,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] lo que justifica aún más la necesidad de contar con referencias propias separadas por sexo y edad. El aumento entre el P 50 y el P 90 del %GC por edad fue mínimo, de 8,6%, en varones de 9-9,9 años y de 6,4% en mujeres de 15-15,9 años.…”
