Height, weight, body mass index and pubertal development references for children of Moroccan origin in The Netherlands

Abstract

Moroccan children living in The Netherlands are substantially shorter than Dutch children. Girls have higher weight-for-height and BMI for age. Median age at menarche occurs earlier. Given these differences, separate growth charts for the Moroccan children are useful.

Deterioration of exercise capacity after neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

“…The Dutch Growth Analyser, version 3.0 (Dutch Growth Foundation, Rotterdam, the Netherlands) was used to calculate standard deviation scores (SD-scores) for height, weight and body mass index (BMI), on the basis of Dutch reference values published in 2000 [17]. Adapted reference values were used for children of Moroccan or Turkish origin [18,19]. SD-scores for spirometric data were calculated as the difference between observed and predicted value divided by the residual standard deviation from the reference values of STANOJEVIC et al [20].…”

Growth monitoring for short stature: update of a systematic review and economic model

“…Ethnically appropriate growth charts were used. [49][50][51][52] Only measurements before diagnosis or start of diet (coeliac disease cohort) were taken into account. The majority of children had more than one measurement (full details are given in Appendix 4).…”

CKD and Hypertension during Long-Term Follow-Up in Children and Adolescents Previously Treated with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

“…Body mass index (BMI) was defined as weight (kilograms)/height (meters 2 ) and adjusted for age and sex to give a BMI SDS (27)(28)(29). Creatinine was assessed by an enzymatic assay (Creatinine Plus; Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) on a Cobas 8000 Analyzer (Roche Diagnostics).…”
