Item type:Publication, THE IMPACT OF NUTRITIONAL STATUS ON GROWTH AND ANTHROPOMETRIC PARAMETERS IN CHILDREN(Macedonian Association of Anatomists and Morphologists, 2024); ; ; ; Evaluation of sex-specific differences of anthropometric parameters as impact of growth and nutritional status in preschool children from Macedonian nationality. The study included a total of 200 healthy 5-5.99 years-old preschool children from Macedonian nationality. Twelve anthropometric parameters were measured, defining longitudinal, circular and transversal dimensionality of the skeleton using standard technique and instruments for measurement. The following indices were selected and calculated: weight-for –age; height-for-age and BMI. Skin –folds (triceps, scapula and thigh) were also measured. Sex-specific differences for almost all anthropometric parameters were detected, but they were not significant. Boys showed higher values than girls regarding height, weight but for BMI were not significant. Values at the 50th percentile in boys were 20 kg for BW, 113.2 cm for BH and 15.94 kg/m². The values of these parameters in girls were 20 kg for BW, 115.4 cm for BH and 15.64 for kg/m² for BMI. The values for skin fold for biceps were higher in boys (10.6. ± 3.9) instead of girls (9.7 ± 3.3). The results obtained can be used for criteria for assessment and detecting deviations in growth and nutritional status in preschool children. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, QUALITATIVE EXAMINATION OF ANTHROPOMETRICAL PARAMETERS IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN(EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF CLINICAL ANATOMY (EACA), 2019); ; ; ; Introduction Growth monitoring and promotion of optional growth are essential components of primary health care for children.The aim of this research is to present qualitative examination of anthropometrical parameters in preschool children and provide the information on the prevalence of different categories of growth and nutritional status during the childhood. Matherial and methods The study included 220 healthy preschool children (110 boys and 110 girls). Stature and body weight were measured, and the BMI value was calculated. Ten anthropometric parameters were measured such as body weight, body height, longitudinal and transversal diameters and skin folds for triceps and scapula. We used self-organizing maps for additional qualitative examination of the results. Results Values at the 50th percentile in our children from both nationalities for the weight-for-age index were 20 kg. The height-for-age index values corresponding to the 50th percentile showed slightly higher values in our female subjects 115.0 cm, and those in our male subjects was 110 cm. The values of 50th percentile of BMI in our females subjects was 15.7 kg/m², whereas in our males was 16.1 kg/m². The values of 50th percentile of BMI in our females subjects from muslims nationalities was 16.2 kg/m², whereas in males was 16.68 kg/m². Conclusion These results show that obesity prevention is recommended, and the detected values could be applied for evaluation of deviations in growth and nutritional status in preschool children. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

The study included a total of 200 healthy 5-year-old preschool children of Macedonian and Albanian nationality. Twelve anthropometric parameters were measured, defining longitudinal, circular and transversal dimensionality of the skeleton using standard technique and instruments for measurement. The qualitative examination was detected with self-organizing maps. The following indices were selected and calculated: weight-for –age; height-for-age and BMI. Sex-specific differences for almost all anthropometric parameters were detected, but they were not significant. Girls showed higher values than boys regarding height and weight, but BMI values were not significant. The values at the 50th percentile in girls were 20 kg for BW, 115.4 cm for BH and 15.64 kg/m². The values of these parameters in boys were 20 kg for BW, 113.2.cm for BH and 15.94 for kg/m² for BMI. In Albanian nationality these parameters were higher in girls 20kg for BW, 110cm in BH and for BMI 16.28 for kg/m². In boys they were 20 kg, for BH 107.1 cm and for BMI 16.68 kg/m². The obtained results can be used for criteria in assessment and detecting deviations in growth and nutritional status in preschool children. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, CHILDHOOD OBESITY IN MACEDONIAN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN, PREVALENCE AND PREVENTION(Macedonian Association of Anatomists, 2022); ; ; ; Assessment of sex-specific differences of anthropometric parameters as indicator of growth and nutritional status in preschool children from Macedonia. The study included a total of 200 healthy preschool children from Macedonian nationality. Thirthteen anthropometric parameters were measured, defining longitudinal, circular and transversal dimensionality of the skeleton using standard technique and instruments for measurement. The following indices were selected and calculated: weight-for –age; height-for-age and BMI. Skin –folds (triceps, scapula, thigh) were also measured. Qualitative examinations were with self-organizing maps. Sex-specific differences for almost all anthropometric parameters were detected, but they were not significant. Girls showed higher values than boys regarding height and weight, but there were no significant differences concerning BMI. Values at the 50th percentile in girls were 20 kg for BW, 108.1 cm for BH and 16.82 kg/m² for BMI. The values of these parameters in boys were 19.75 kg for BW, 108.25 cm for BH and 16.24 for kg/m² for BMI. The values for triceps skin-fold were higher in boys than (13.0 ±3.0) than in girls (12.5 ±3.6). The results obtained can be used as criteria for assessment and detecting deviations in growth and nutritional status in preschool children. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Anthropometric parameters and indexes in 9 year-old-children from R. North Macedonia(Macedonian Association of Anatomists, 2021-04-02); ; ; ; The aim of the study was the detection of sex-specific differences of anthropometric parameters and indexes that were used as indicators of growth and nutritional status in the 9-year-old-children from R.North Macedonia.The study included 280 healthy children aged 9 (140 boys, 140 girls) from R.North Macedonia. Fourteen anthropometric parameters were measured which define longitudinal, circular and transversal measures of skeleton using standard equipment and measurement technique. The following indicators were calculated: weight-for-age (BW), height-for-age (BH), BMI, mid-upper circumference-for-age (MUAC) and skinfolds thickness (scapula SFSc and triceps SFTr)-for-age.The results have shown significant sex-specific differences in favour of boys for the height, four transversal and three circular parameters, with exception of mid-upper-arm circumference and skinfolds that were apparently higer in girls. Values of the 50th percentile in boys were as follows: 33 kg for BW, 136 cm for BH and 17.65 kg/m2 for BMI, 19.8 cm for MUAC and for skinfolds: SFSc 8 mm and 12 mm for SFTr.The values of these parameters in girls were: 32 kg for BW, 135cm for BH and 17.47 kg/m 2 for BMI. 20.8 cm for MUAC and for SFSc 9.8 mm and 12.8 mm for SFTr .These results can be used as criteria for the assessment of the morphological characteristics and detection of deviations in the growth and nutritional status in children aged 9. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE EXAMINATION OF ANTHROPOMETRICAL PARAMETERS IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN WITH SELF-ORGANIZING MAPS(Macedonian Association of Anatomists, 2020-07); ; ; Growth monitoring and promotion of optional growth are essential components of primary health care for children. Serial measurements of weight, height/length, for all children and measurements of circular and transversal parameters compared with growth of large sample population help to confirm a child's healthy growth and development. It also allows early identification of potential nutritional or health problems and enables prompt action before achild's health is seriously compromised. The aim of the study was to compare quantitative and qualitative examinationof anthropometric parameters as indicator of growth and nutritional status in preschool children. Anthropometric parameters were measured on healthy children, defining longitudinal, circular and transversal dimensionality of the skeleton using standard technique and instruments. The qualitative examination was detected with self-organizing maps.The majority of anthropometrical parameters have shown significant age and sex specific differences in favour of female subjects. The height-for-age index values corresponding to the 50thpercentile showed slightly higher values in our female subjects 115.4cm than in our male subjects 113.2cm. The values of 50thpercentile of BMI in our male subjects were 15.94kg/m², whereas in our females were 15.64kg/m². These results show that obesity prevention is recommended, and detected values could be applied for evaluation of deviations in growth and nutritional status in preschool children
