“…On the other hand, the ARG reference lacks BMI centiles, limiting our analysis. Nevertheless, when the weight centiles of the sample were compared to both data references, a higher body mass was revealed in these schoolchildren, whose biased distribution was self-evident at the 97th centile, corroborating both previous results as well as those reported in other populations (Kulaga et al, 2011;López-Siguero et al, 2008;Roelants et al, 2009). The most significant changes at the upper centiles have logical consequences because a global trend towards increased body weight in childhood and adolescence is consequently followed by a rise in overweight and obesity (Wang & Lobstein, 2006).…”

Background-Cardiac MRI is important in the treatment of children with congenital heart disease, but sufficient normative data are lacking. For ventricular volumes and mass, we sought to deliver reference centiles and to investigate sex effects. Methods and Results-We included 114 healthy children and adolescents, uniformly distributed spanning an age range of 4 to 20 years, as required by the Lambda-Mu-Sigma method to achieve a percentile distribution, thus avoiding arbitrary age categories. Subjects underwent axial volumetry (1.5-T scanner) using standardized 2D steady-state free-precession and flow protocols. Percentiles were computed for age 8 to 20 years (99 subjects) because breath-holds were more consistent in this group. When indexed for body surface area or height, the centile curves of ventricular volumetric parameters showed allometric increase until adolescence, when a plateau was reached, with values comparable to published adult reference data. In contrast, ventricular mass centiles increased without plateau. There was a significant sex difference, with centiles reflecting larger values in boys than in girls (PϽ0.05) when ventricular volumes were indexed to body surface area or height but not when indexed to weight (exception: mass). There was excellent agreement of axial and short-axis volumetry and of volumetric and flow-derived stroke volumes. Conclusions-Percentiles for ventricular volumes and mass in healthy children have been established to serve as reference values in pediatric heart disease. Significant sex differences were noted when indexing volumes to body surface area or height. Unisex centiles related to weight may be considered for chamber volumes albeit not for mass.

“…Additionally, studies have shown sex differences in weight-related behaviours [ 36 , 38 ]. Weight perception should also be taken into account and potentially female adolescents experience more social pressure on appearance and beauty norms [ 34 , 39 ].…”

Stabilization and reversal of child obesity in Andalusia using objective anthropometric measures by socioeconomic status

et al. 2018

BackgroundChildhood obesity continues to be a significant public health issue worldwide. Recent national studies in Spain show a stable picture. However, prevalence and trends differ by socio-economic status, age, and region. We present the trend in childhood excess weight prevalence, aged 8–15 years, in Andalusia from 2011-2012 to 2015–2016 by socio-economic status.MethodsUsing the cross-sectional Andalusian Health Surveys, objective anthropometric measures were taken for a representative sample of 8–15 year olds in Andalusia in 2011–2012 and 2015–2016. Prevalence and changes in prevalence of excess weight (overweight plus obesity) were calculated, using both the WHO and IOTF criteria, overall and for sex, age and three different indicators of SES.ResultsOverall prevalence of excess weight decreased from 42.0% in 2011–2012 to 35.4% in 2015–2016. Overweight decreased from 28.2 to 24.2% and obesity from 13.8 to 11.2%. In 2011–2012 the prevalence of excess weight in boys was 46.0%and 37.9% in girls; in 2015–2016 the difference became significant with 41% of boys with excess weight compared with 30% in girls.ConclusionsChildhood excess weight prevalence in Andalusia has decreased slightly between 2011-2012 and 2015–2016. Notably, a decrease in obesity prevalence in girls aged 8–15 years was recorded. In 2011–2012 a social gradient for excess weight prevalence across three SES indicators was observed: in 2015–2016 this gradient disappeared. Nonetheless, prevalence remains too high.
