Background: Puberty is a milestone in child and adolescent development, yet a feasible tool to accurately assess pubertal stage in community context has not been validated in Vietnam. Aim: This study was conducted to validate pubertal self-report among Ho Chi Minh City children and adolescents in comparison with paediatrician’s assessment. Methods: 80 girls and 76 boys aged from 6 to 17 years old from 5 schools in Ho Chi Minh City were recruited. Self-administered questionnaires about sexual maturation were distributed to participants and results were compared with physician’s pubertal examination. Kappa statistic and Kendall’s τ b were used to evaluate validity of the questionnaire. Results: Boys tended to overestimate their development stages while girls tended to underestimate. Fair to almost perfect agreement between students’ reports and paediatricians’ evaluation, along with high concordance was recorded, however younger boys (aged 6-11) showed limited evaluation of their own sexual maturation. Conclusion: This method was inaccurate to evaluate younger boys’ sexual maturation; however, acceptable accuracy in sexual maturation estimation among younger girls and adolescents could allow it to serve as an effective screening tool in community context.

Abstract Background Recommendations on preventive lipid screening among children and adolescents remain controversial. The aim of the study was to assess age and puberty-related changes in serum lipids, including total cholesterol (TC), and high-density (HDL-C) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Non-HDL-C). Methods Using cross-sectional data from the National Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents in Germany (KiGGS 2003–2006; N = 13,676; 1–17 years), changes in distributions of serum lipids were visualized according to sex, age and maturation. Youth aged 10–17 years were classified as prepubescent, early/mid-puberty, and mature/advanced puberty. Multiple linear regressions were used to quantify the impact of pubertal stage on serum lipid levels, adjusted for potential confounding factors. Results Among children 1–9 years mean serum lipid measures increased with age, with higher mean TC and Non-HDL-C among girls than boys. Among children 10–17 years, advanced pubertal stage was independently related to lower lipid measures. Adjusted mean TC, HDL-C and Non-HDL-C was 19.4, 5.9 and 13.6 mg/dL lower among mature/advanced puberty compared to prepubescent boys and 11.0, 4.0 and 7.0 mg/dL lower in mature/advanced puberty compared to prepubescent girls. Conclusions Lipid concentrations undergo considerable and sex-specific changes during physical growth and sexual maturation and significantly differ between pubertal stages. Screening recommendations need to consider the fluctuations of serum lipids during growth and sexual maturation.

Central Adiposity

ResumoO objetivo foi analisar a associação entre maturação sexual relativamente acelerada, excesso de peso e adiposidade central em crianças e adolescentes. Foi realizado um estudo longitudinal com 617 crianças e adolescentes de 8 a 18 anos de idade. Foram realizadas três coletas de dados de peso, estatura, perímetro da cintura. O excesso de peso foi classificado com base nos valores críticos do índice de massa corporal (IMC) para crianças e adolescentes brasileiros. Oestágio de maturação sexual (EMS) foi autoavaliado nas três coletas pelas crianças e adolescentes. Os indivíduos foram distribuídos em quartis de idades segundo EMS e sexo. Foramcomparados os indivíduos com maturação relativamente acelerada com os demais indivíduos. Os dados foram analisados por meio de análises de regressão linear e logística. Foi observada associação negativa entre escore z do IMC e idade de início da maturação sexual em meninos, não sendo observada associação no sexo feminino. A maturação sexual relativamente acelerada associou-se positivamente com excesso de peso e com valores de escore z do IMC. Meninas com maturação relativamente acelerada apresentaram maior adiposidade central. A pesquisaconcluiu que a maturação sexual acelerada associou-se com o excesso de peso e maior incremento no IMC em ambos os sexos evidenciando a importância da identificação do estágio de maturação sexual na avaliação nutricional de crianças e adolescentes.
