本文旨在介绍身高的生长曲线,体重,和95,000名6至17岁的巴西青年的BMI,包括全国五个地区,亚马逊地区,和土著居民,并将它们与世界卫生组织(WHO)的增长参考进行比较。最终样本包括来自“ProjetoEsporteBrasil”数据库的52,729名男孩和42,731名女孩。体重和身高信息用于推导曲线。位置的广义加法模型,scale,形状被采用。在这项研究中,我们呈现平滑的年龄体重,身高的年龄,以及男孩和女孩的BMI-年龄曲线。在巴西曲线的结果和WHO生长参考之间观察到差异。开发的曲线对于医学专业人员来说是有价值的,公共卫生,营养,体育教育,和其他相关领域,关于评估巴西儿童和青少年的身体发育和监测该人群的营养状况。此外,这些曲线将有助于识别有疾病风险和生长延迟的个体或亚组,更加注重具体的国家相关因素。
This article aims to present growth curves for height, weight, and BMI of 95,000 Brazilian youths aged 6 to 17 years, including the five regions of the country, the Amazon region, and indigenous populations, and compare them with the World Health Organization (WHO) growth references. The final sample consisted of 52,729 boys and 42,731 girls from the \"Projeto Esporte Brasil\" database. Body mass and height information were used to derive the curves. The generalized additive model for location, scale, and shape was employed. In this study, we present smoothed weight-for-age, height-for-age, and BMI-for-age curves for boys and girls. Differences were observed between the results of the Brazilian curves and the WHO growth references. The developed curves will be valuable for professionals in medicine, public health, nutrition, physical education, and other related fields, regarding the assessment of physical growth in Brazilian children and adolescents and monitoring the nutritional status of this population. Additionally, these curves will facilitate the identification of individuals or subgroups at risk of diseases and delayed growth, with a greater focus on specific country-related factors.
