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, ANTHROPOMETRICAL INDEXES AS NUTRITIONAL INDICATORS IN CHILDREN(EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF CLINICAL ANATOMY (EACA), 2019); ; ; ; Introduction:. In order to prevent and reduce the increasing trend of obesity, anthropometric variables of growth and nutritional status in children have to be constantly monitored.The aim of our study was evaluation of sex-specific differences of anthropometrical indexes that were used as indicators for assessment of nutritional status in children aged 8. Examinees and methods: The study included 212 healthy children (106 boys, 106 girls) aged 8 from Macedonian nationality. With standard methodology (IBP) were taken following body measurements (body weight, height, mid upper arm circumferences-MUAC and skinfolds thickness triceps–SFTr and subscapular-SFSc), and according to standard formulas were calculated: weight-for-age (BW), height-for-age (BH), body mass index-for-age (BMI), mid upper arm circumferences-for age (MUAC), and skinfolds thicknes-for-age (SFTr and SFSc). Results: Results showed sex-specific differences in a large number of the examined anthropometrical parameters (BW, BH, BMI) in favour of the boys. On the other hand, skinfolds thickness (SFTr and SFSc) were significantly higher in girls. Values of the 50th percentile in boys were as follows:30 kg for BW,131 cm for BH, 17.3 kg/m2 for BMI, 18cm for MUAC, 5.5 mm for SFSc, and 8.6mm for SFTr. The values of these parameters in girls were: 29 kg for BW,129.2. cm for BH,16.8 kg/m2 for BMI, 18.5cm for MUAC, 6.9 mm for SFSc and 10.2 for SFTr. Conclusions: These results can be used as criteria for the assessment and detection of deviations in the nutritional status in children aged 8. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, ASSESMENT OF THE NUTRITIONAL STATUS BASED ON ANTHROPOMETRICAL INDEXES IN CHILDREN AGED 6 FROM NORTH MACEDONIA(Antrophological Society of Serbia- Nis, 2021); ; ; ; Introduction and Aim: Anthropometry is sensitive, noninvasive and especially important for the assessment of the nutritional status based on anthropometrical indexes in children aged 6 from North Macedonia. Material and methods: We analysed 280 healthy children (140 boys, 140 girls) aged 6 of Macedonian nationality. Six parameters were measured and calculated the following indexes according to the standard formulas: weight-for-age (BW), height-for-age (BH), body mass index-for-age (BMI), mid-upper arm circumferences-for-age (MUAC), waist circumference-for-age (WH) and skinfolds thickness-for-age (SFTr and SFSc). Results: The results showed sex-specific differences in the examined parameters (BW, BH, BMI) in favour of the boys. In contrast, skinfolds thickness (SFTr and SFSc) were significantly higher in girls. The sex-specific difference for the circumferences proved to be insignificant. Values of the 50th percentile in boys were as follows: 24 kg for BW, 119.6 cm for BH, 16.52 kg/m2 for BMI, 17.2 cm for MUAC, 54 cm for WC, 5.2 mm for SFSc, and 8.2 for SFTr. The values in girls were: 22 kg for BW,118cm for BH,15.94 kg/m2 for BMI, 17.6cm for MUAC, 53 cm for WC, 5.8mm for SFSc and 9 for SFTr. Conclusions: These results can be useful as criteria for assessment and detection of deviations in the nutritional status in children aged 6. - 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
