Abstract：
Objective Height velocity is a crucial anthropometric parameter for the evaluation of mild- or recent-onset short stature; however, there is no data on height velocity in South Indian children. We undertook this study to establish the normative data. Methods This prospective longitudinal study included 3327 apparently healthy children aged three to 18 years from government and private schools of Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh. Height and weight were measured at baseline and three-monthly intervals for one year (October 2018 to October 2019). Results Age- and sex-specific height velocity percentiles were generated. The data was available in 1627 boys and 1700 girls. The mean peak height velocity (PHV) was 7.18±2.56 cm in boys observed at 12-12.9 years and 5.8±2.56 cm in girls at 10-10.9 years. Conclusion Normative height velocity data for South Indian children has been presented.
摘要：
目的身高速度是评估轻度或近期发作的身材矮小的关键人体测量参数；但是，没有关于南印度儿童身高速度的数据。我们进行了这项研究，以建立规范的数据。方法这项前瞻性纵向研究包括3327名来自克里希纳地区政府和私立学校的3至18岁明显健康的儿童，安得拉邦.身高和体重在基线和三个月间隔测量一年（2018年10月至2019年10月）。结果产生特定年龄和性别的身高速度百分位数。该数据适用于1627名男孩和1700名女孩。在12-12.9岁观察到的男孩的平均峰高速度（PHV）为7.18±2.56cm，在10-10.9岁观察到的女孩为5.8±2.56cm。结论已提供了南印度儿童的标准身高速度数据。
