ABSTRACT Objective: Our study aimed to describe body phenotypes (BP) estimated by multivariate analysis and their association with body mass. Design: Body phenotypes were defined based on demographic variables, anthropometric data (body mass, height, skinfolds and circumferences), body composition (phase angle measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis), biochemical parameters (triglycerides, glucose, total cholesterol ratio/Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL), haemoglobin and sexual maturation (pubic hair and breasts or gonads). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to verify the differences between skin colour and the stages of pubertal development, body phenotypes, body composition, anthropometric, and biochemical variables. Setting: Cities of São Paulo-SP, Piracicaba-SP and Florianópolis-SC from Brazil and the United States. Participants: 9269 adolescents aged between 10 to 15 years old. Results: The composition of BP was similar in all surveys, which are: BP1 was composed by skinfolds, body mass and circumferences variables; BP2 by pubic hair, breast in girls or gonad in boys, height and age; BP3 by cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose; and BP4 by phase angle, haemoglobin and glucose (negative loading). There was a strong correlation (r = 0.9, p <0.001) between BP1 and body mass index. Conclusion: We highlighted independence observed between biochemical parameters, anthropometry, body composition and sexual maturation. BP may support the calculation of scores for diagnosis of obesity based on anthropometric variables and overcome ambiguity in the isolated use of body mass index.

Aim. To investigate physical development of children in Voronezh region in different age groups in 2011-2014 in comparison with the regional studies data in 1997-1999. Methods. The study was performed on 5644 children aged 1-18 years of health groups I and II in comparison with the data of 10 247 children aged 1-14 years examined in 1997-1999. Body height, weight and body mass index Z-scores, calculated using WHO AnthroPlus software, were evaluated. Results. Children’s Z-score values for body height in 2011-2014 were higher than in 1997-1999 in all age groups and at the age of 1-9 years these values exceeded World Health Organization (WHO) standards. Girls’ height approached the standards in 10-14 and 15-18 years, and boys’ height - in 15-18 years. Body weight of children aged 2-8 years was higher than the regional data in 1997-1999 and WHO standards approaching them at the age of 9. Body mass index increase compared to WHO standards was revealed in children aged 1-4 years (p=0.000), and in 2011-2014 the reported differences were less prominent than in 1997-1999. In 2011-2014 among 15-18-years-old girls the shift of body mass index values to the lack of body weight was noted, in 1997-1999 the same changes were found out for 10-14-years-old girls. Conclusion. In 2011-2014 specific attention was required to be paid to physical development of children at the age from 1 to 4 years due to overweight risk of and girls aged 15-18 years due to probable underweight risk.

Obesity In Children

Currently in the world the main diagnostic parameter for assessing obesity is the magnitude of body mass index. In children, taking into account the growth and body weight indicators that dynamically change as the child grows up, it is common to use not absolute, but relative values of body mass index percentiles or standard deviations. The lecture examined various systems and methods for assessing the physical development of children in the world and in Russia domestic ones, R.N. Dorokhova and I.I. Bakhraha, World Health Organization (WHO), International Group for the Study of Obesity. A comparative analysis of the existing systems and the validity of the currently adopted Federal recommendations on the diagnosis of obesity in children based on the recommendations of WHO has been carried out.

The tendency that has emerged in recent years towards an increase in the number of overweight children, as well as an increase in the incidence of children associated with obesity and overweight, actualizes the timely indication of deviations in the physical development of children in order to prevent health disorders. The article provides a comparative analysis of methods for assessing the physical development of children using somatometric indicators: methods of sigma deviations (deviation from standard arithmetic mean values by the value of sigma deviation), estimates on regression scales that take into account the correlation between body weight and body length and age (deviations from the proper values from M –1 to M + 2σR), body mass index estimates by calculating the Quetelet index, using the SDS-standard deviation score, Z-score (WHO 2007) and bioimpedance analysis. The generalized analysis in the age group 12–17 revealed the highest percentage of overweight children when analyzed using bioimpedansometry (20.9 %) and when assessing BMI according to the WHO method of 21.2 % regardless of gender and significantly lower indicators when assessing with using regression scales and sigma deviations (9.6 % among boys and 18.7 % — among girls when assessed using regression scales and 15.3 %, and 11.2 % — when assessed by the method of sigma deviations). The broad capabilities of bioimpedance analysis of body composition make it possible to diagnose the presence of overweight and obesity at the individual level. Comparable results obtained in bioimpedance analysis and in assessing body mass index using the method (WHO, 2007), allow us to consider this method in population studies of indication of overweight and obesity as a rather informative method.

Abstract Abstract 4113 Survival rates for childhood hematologic malignancies continue to improve. Research suggests these individuals are at increased risk for late adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This analysis includes children (n=101) who survived ≥ 5-yrs following diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (n=78), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (n=5), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) (n=18), compared to their frequency matched healthy siblings (n=123). Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure (BP), fasting glucose, insulin, and lipids were collected; insulin resistance was assessed by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp, adjusted for lean body mass (low Mlbm represents insulin resistance); carotid artery stiffness (distensibility and compliance – low levels represent increased stiffness), adjusted for lumen diameter, was assessed by ultrasound. Least squares means and standard errors, adjusted for age, gender, pubertal development, and body mass index (BMI) were compared. Survivors (63.4% male) mean age at diagnosis was 10.3 yrs (5.7-15.8) and 15.0 yrs (9.9-17.9) at evaluation; siblings (56.1% male) were 13.6 yrs (9.0-18.0) at evaluation. Among survivors, 88 (87.1%) received chemotherapy only and 13 (12.9%) chemotherapy and cranial radiation. Metabolic syndrome (MS) (modified criteria for children) was present in 8 (7.9%) survivors vs. 6 (4.9%) siblings (p=0.35). Nevertheless, 25 (24.8 %) survivors had two or more MS components compared to 17 (13.8 %) siblings (p=0.04). There were no differences between cases and siblings on measures of adiposity (BMI, waist circumference, % body fat, visceral fat), BP, fasting glucose, insulin, and lipids. However, survivors were significantly more insulin resistant and had stiffer carotid arteries compared to controls (Table). Despite similar levels of adiposity, survivors of childhood hematologic malignancies demonstrate signs of insulin resistance and increased vascular stiffness at a young age compared to healthy controls. These findings highlight: 1) the heightened cardiovascular risk profile among children who survived hematologic malignancies and 2) that the typical components of the MS may not be sufficiently sensitive measures of risk in this young population. Survivors (n = 101) Siblings (n = 123) (p) LS means (SE) LS means (SE) Body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2) 21.3 (0.5) 21.2 (0.5) 0.8 Visceral fat (cm3) 22.8 (1.0) 22.3 (1.0) 0.7 Insulin resistance [Mlbm (mg/kg/min)] 12.6 (0.5) 14.2 (0.5) 0.007 Carotid artery distensibility (%) 13.5 (0.4) 14.9 (0.4) 0.004 Carotid artery compliance (mm2/mmHg) 0.16 (0.004) 0.17 (0.004) 0.008 Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
