“…The data concerning anthropometric measurements such as height, weight, and BMI showed diversity according to age and gender. Similar values for growth, body weight, and the mean values of BMI were found in previous Polish studies among a group of children and adolescents in 2007-2009 [12,13], but we found a lower proportion of overweight children, and a higher proportion of children with obesity compared to previous studies [12]. Another Polish study [14], which examined the prevalence of overweight and obesity among adolescents aged 13-15 years in 2005, reported a lower percentage of adolescents with overweight and obesity in both genders.…”

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of overweight and obesity among Polish adolescents. Material and methods: Participants (13-19 years old, n = 14,044 students) were recruited from 207 schools, randomly selected from a total of 2058 schools. The stratified two-stage sampling method was used. First the schools were selected, and then the students. The study was conducted from 2013 to 2014. The body weight of students aged 13-18 years was assessed using IOTF criteria. For students aged 19 years old, standard WHO body mass index criteria were applied. Results: Excessive body weight was observed among 18.2% of all adolescents aged 13-19 years old, 11.6% were found to be overweight, and 6.6% obese. The prevalence of overweight ranged between 9.3% and 11.5% for girls, and 9.4% and 17.0% for boys. The prevalence of obesity ranged between 3.8% and 7.3% for girls, and 4.8% and 9.2% for boys. The obesity rate was higher among younger individuals for both gender groups, and a decreasing prevalence with age was observed. Conclusions: In Poland overweight was observed in one out of every eight adolescents, and obesity in one out of every 15 adolescents. The weight status was dependent on age and gender of adolescents. The highest prevalence of obesity was noted for the youngest boys (13 years old).

“…9,10 Other jurisdictions (e.g., Poland, Australia, the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark) have shown variable changes with either small declines or plateaus in obesity rates. [11][12][13][14][15] Some developing countries are undergoing the same surge in obesity witnessed in Canada from 1978 to 2004. 16 Other investigators have identified higher rates of obesity among Canadian boys using self-reported measures.…”

“…4 Results from the United States have shown a decline in obesity rates among toddlers and a plateau in rates among older children; 9,10 stabilization has also been noted in other jurisdictions (e.g., Germany and Australia). [11][12][13][14][15][16] We undertook this study to determine the most recent trends in the prevalence of overweight and obesity among Canadian children using the current WHO weight charts for Canada applied to a representative sample of children.…”

“…The results obtained in 2009 revealed a further increase in the percentage of overweight and obese children, reaching 35% in boys and almost 20% in girls [4]. In 2008 in south-eastern Poland, the prevalence of overweight was 13.3% in girls and 14.2% in boys, whereas the prevalence of obesity was 7.7% in girls and 6.4% in boys [5].…”

Introduction and objective. There is an evidence suggesting that obesity may influence the timing of puberty and growth patterns. There are few research on the reactions of the craniofacial complex to an overall increase in the body mass. Thus the objective of the study was to investigate if overweight or obesity may influence craniofacial morphology in adolescent orthodontic patients. Material and methods. In total, 77 patients aged 11-16 years were selected for the retrospective analysis. The study group comprised 37 overweight or obese individuals (mean age: 13,45±2,15). The control group included 40 normal-weight subjects (mean age: 13.79±1.81). Body mass index (BMI) percentile of each patient was assessed with the use of BMI score and age-and sex specific growth charts in accordance with International Obesity Task Force (IOTF). Craniofacial measurements included in the study were performed on the tracings of lateral cephalometric radiographs. The data was analyzed by STATISTICA 10 for Windows Software. Results. Both females and males of the study group exhibited significantly greater mandible length (Cd-Gn), corpus length (Go-Pg), midfacial length (Cd-A) and lower anterior facial height (Ans-Me) (p<0.05), as well as SNB, SNPg and ML/SN angles (p<0.05) compared to the normal-weight controls. Moreover, high BMI females showed greater maxillary length (Pm-A) and SNA angle (p<0.05), whereas males exhibited greater posterior facial height (S-Go) (p<0.05) compared to the controls. Conclusions. Weight status is an important factor that can affect craniofacial growth pattern and should be taken into consideration when planning orthopaedic treatment in adolescent patients.
