Abstract
Introduction: Monitoring growth rate in children reflects the state of health and nutrition of the individual as well as the state of health of a nation. Until now little information has been available about the growth pattern of Icelandic children. We report here the results of a nationwide cross-sectional study of growth in Icelandic children aged 6-20 years. Material and methods: Height, standing and sitting and weight were measured in a total of 6500 schoolchildren, 3173 girls and 3327 boys. The measurements were performed 1983-1987. Children were randomly selected from The National Registry according to date of birth from both urban and rural areas of the whole country of Iceland. Stature was measured by a Harpenden stadiometer and the children were weighed in underwear only using a standardized scale. Results: The mean values and standard deviations for height, standing and sitting and weight are presented in tables. Growth charts for height weigt and sitting height are presented. No difference in height and weight was found between children from rural and urban areas. The results show that the growth of Icelandic children is in all age groups almost identical to the growth of Norwegian children. Compaired to other Nordic and WHO growth standards, Icelandic children are tall, especially during early pubertal development. Conclusions: Icelandic children are tall and the growth of Icelandic and Norwegian children follows the same pattern wich supports the theory that the two nations are closely related.
Inngangur: Rannsóknir á vexti barna og unglinga gefa verðmætar upplýsingar um heilsufar, næringarástand og almenna velmegun, bæði einstaklinga og heilla þjóða. Óhætt er að fullyrða að vaxtarferill er einn besti mælikvarði sem völ er á til að fylgjast með almennu heilsufari og heilbrigði barna. Til þessa hafa ekki verið gerðar staðlaðar rannsóknir á vexti og þroska íslenskra barna. Hér eru birtar niðurstöður rannsóknar á hæð og þyngd íslenskra barna og unglinga á aldrinum 6-20 ára, en rannsóknin er hluti af stórri þverskurðarrannsókn á vexti, þroska og næringarástandi íslenskra ungmenna. Efniviður og aðferðir: Hæð, sethæð og þyngd var mæld hjá alls 6500 skólabörnum, 3173 stúlkum og 3327 piltum á árabilinu 1983-1987. Börnin voru valin samkvæmt fæðingardegi úr þjóðskrá, bæði af höfuðborgarsvæðinu og úr ýmsum grunn- og framhaldsskólum í öllum landsfjórðungum. Hæð barnanna var mæld sitjandi og standandi með Harpenden stadiometer og þau vegin léttklædd með löggiltri reisluvog. Niðurstöður: Meðalgildi og staðalfrávik fyrir hæð, sethæð og þyngd eru gefin upp í töflum. Birt eru vaxtarlínurit fyrir hæð, þyngd og sethæð. Ekki fannst marktækur munur á hæð eða þyngd barna í þéttbýli og dreifbýli. Rannsóknin leiddi í ljós að vöxtur íslenskra barna er á öllum aldursskeiðum nánast eins og vöxtur norskra barna. Samanborið við aðra norræna vaxtarstaðla, og staðla Alþjóðaheilbrigðisstofnunarinnar, eru íslensk börn hávaxin, einkum í byrjun kynþroskaskeiðs. Ályktanir: Íslensk börn eru hávaxin og vöxtur íslenskra barna fylgir nánast sama ferli og vöxtur norskra barna og samræmist það nánum skyldleika þjóðanna.
