Growth pattern of human population changes with time and place. Particularly developing countries, country like India, is in a stage of nutritional transition hence it is necessary to update growth references regularly. The present study is carried out on 0-10 years from Baramati from Pune district of Maharashtra. We considered that children from maternity homes, BCG camps, well baby clinics, immunization camps, private clinics, ‘Anganwadis and Balwadis’, Nurseries’ and schools etc. Our study shows that growth performance of Anthropometric indices for Baramati children is much less than National Centre of Health Statistics (NCHS) and slightly less than Indian Council of Medical Research ICMR and Affluent Indians (AI). We have proposed growth charts for Baramati region to monitor growth parameters. Keywords: Anthropometric Indices, NCHS, ICMR, AI.

AbstractObjectivesTo assess the proportion of children being stunted and underweight-for-age at 3, 9 and 15 months in Lambaréné, Gabon, using the WHO child growth standards released in 2006 as compared with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2000 and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) 1978 child growth charts/references.Design and settingProspective birth cohort in Lambaréné, Gabon.SubjectsTwo hundred and eighty-nine children from birth to 15 months of age.MethodsWeight and length were recorded at 3, 9 and 15 months. CorrespondingZscores for stunting and underweight-for-age were calculated for the three different standards/references. Children with a height-for-age or weight-for-age below –2sdof the corresponding reference median (Zscore ≤−2) were classified as stunted or underweight-for-age, respectively.ResultsWith the new WHO 2006 standards a higher proportion (4·0 %) of 3-month-old infants were underweight compared with the CDC (1·0 %) or the NCHS (0·7 %) child growth charts/references. In contrast to the NCHS references or the CDC charts, this proportion did not increase from 3 to 9 months or from 9 to 15 months. The proportion of children being stunted was highest (above 20 %) with the WHO 2006 standards at all three ages. Again, in contrast to the old standards, this proportion did not increase from 3 to 9 months or from 9 to 15 months.ConclusionsThe present results show considerably different growth faltering patterns for Gabonese children depending on the growth charts used to assess the prevalence of stunting and underweight. Shifting to the new WHO child growth standards may have important implications for child health programmes.

AbstractIn 2000, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) produced a revised growth reference. This has already been used in different settings outside the USA. Using data obtained during a nutritional survey in Madagascar, we compare results produced by using both the 2000 CDC and the 1978 National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)/World Health Organization (WHO) growth references. We show that changing the reference has an important impact on nutritional diagnosis. In particular, the prevalence of wasting is greatly increased. This could generate substantial operational and clinical difficulties. We recommend continued use of the 1978 NCHS/WHO reference until release of the new WHO multi-country growth charts.

OBJETIVOS: descrever os fatores associados ao estado nutricional de crianças assistidas em creches da Prefeitura do Município de São Paulo. MÉTODOS: foi selecionada amostra probabilística de crianças de 4 a 84 meses (n=556), utilizando procedimento de amostragem por conglomerados. Adotou-se o padrão de referência do National Centre for Health Statistics, para os índices peso/idade, peso/estatura e estatura/idade, considerando-se em déficit nutricional as crianças que apresentaram esses índices dois escores z abaixo do valor mediano da população de referência e sobrepeso com índice peso/estatura dois escores z acima. Foram construídos dois modelos de regressão logística multivariada para identificar quais as variáveis associa-das com o déficit de estatura e o sobrepeso. RESULTADOS: encontrou-se 5,2% de prevalência de déficit de estatura e 5,0% de sobrepeso. As variáveis número de irmãos e faixa etária da criança se associaram inversamente com os dois agravos em estudo, onde ter dois ou mais irmãos e idade inferior a dois anos é fator de risco para déficit de estatura e ter dois ou mais irmãos e idade inferior a cinco anos é fator de proteção para sobrepeso. CONCLUSÕES: verificou-se prevalência de déficit de estatura e sobrepeso acima do esperado para a população de referência, justificando intervenções nutricionais que contemplem esses dois agravos.

A breast-fed 4-month-old infant girl observed since birth had gained only 1230 g (2 lb 11 oz). The mother had three older children with birth weights of 3440 g (7 lb 9 oz), 4000 g (8 lb 13 oz), and 4895 g (10 lb 13 oz). All were exclusively breast-fed and thrived, eventually growing between the 25th and 50th percentiles on the National Center for Health Statistics growth charts. The mother also had five miscarriages during these 7 years. She had gastric bypass surgery for morbid obesity between her third and fourth children. She had lost 49 kg (109 lb) (114 kg to 65 kg) [254 lb to 145 lb]) in the first 12 months after surgery and had been stable at her new weight for 4 months prior to becoming pregnant with this baby.

In addition to centile curves for birth weight and height of single infants, the authors offer similar biometric references for twins derived from a large French data base. The aim of the work is to assist in discovering small-for-date twins. In the actual prenatal environment, the curves show a decrease in the evolution of these growth parameters in comparison with the single pregnancy standards as early as the 30th week of pregnancy.

The human population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050 and thus high yield crop varieties need to be developed. Remote sensing can estimate crop parameters non-destructively and quickly. The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the use of a commercial RGB camera with an expensive canopy sensor in the crop development of two legumes. The RGB camera based vegetation index (NGRDI) was compared with the canopy sensor derived vegetation indices (NDVI and NDRE) for estimating legume crop growth parameters. The results indicated that the use of a simple digital camera RGB can in some cases replace spectral canopy sensors.

Background: Fenton charts from developed world are commonly used for growth assessment of preterm newborns. Recently prescribed Intergrowth-21 (IG-21) charts look more promising as they include mixed population from economically diverse nations. Objective: We compared IG-21 with Fenton charts for birth size classification and extrauterine growth in preterm infants. Study design: A prospective collection of growth parameters. Participants: Preterm newborns (<37 weeks). Intervention: Weight (W), length (L), and head circumference (HC) were collected at weekly interval during the stay as well as follow-up. Outcomes: Growth of preterm newborns at birth and last follow-up was assessed using Fenton and IG-21 charts. Agreement between Fenton and IG-21 for percentiles and z-scores of growth parameters was assessed using Bland-Altman plot. Results: A total of 301 preterm newborns were enrolled in the study. Mean (standard deviation [SD]) gestational age at birth was 34.08 (1.84) weeks, while at last follow-up (N = 296) it was 37.62 (1.85) weeks. The mean (SD) of birth W, L, and HC were 1889.24 (418.9) g, 44.69 (3.03) cm, and 30.6 (1.84) cm, respectively, while for last follow-up, they were 2114.76 (397.7) g, 47.64 (2.97) cm, and 32.65 (1.7) cm, respectively. The agreement of z-score/percentile between the 2 growth charts was not good for all the anthropometric parameters. Overall, Fenton reported more intrauterine (42.9% vs 36.9%) and extrauterine (92.9% vs 73%) growth restriction as compared to IG-21. Conclusion: The agreement between the 2 charts was poor. More proportions of the preterm population were growth restricted using Fenton charts.

A clinical "parent-specific" method for evaluating recumbent length and stature of children, allowing for the stature of parents, is presented. This method uses midparent stature and allows adjustment of recumbent length (birth to 3 years) and stature (3 to 18 years) of US children relative to National Center for Health Statistics growth charts. The method is based on parent-child relationships for 586 midparent-child pairs participating in the Fels Longitudinal Study, and on more than 16,000 serial measurements of recumbent length and stature. The method provides a clinical tool to separate the normal genetic contribution of parental stature to stature of children from other factors that affect stature such as malnutrition or disease.

Background: In Mongolia, children’s growth monitored by WHO and CDC growth charts. The purpose of the study was to compare the growth of UB school children with the WHO and CDC growth reference curves. Methods: 8046 pupils aged 6-17 years old participated in the study. The subjects were sampled 4044 boys and 4002 girls. Height and weight were measured with Physician Beam Scale. Growth references were generated by the LMS method. The centiles were compared to the WHO and CDC. The 3rd, 50th and 97th centiles were plotted along with the corresponding values of WHO and CDC. Results: In Mongolian children the overall height was below compared to both WHO and CDC references, with the highest differences at 12-17 years, 14-17 years and 13-17 years of age at P3, P50 and P97 respectively. Body weight in girls of UB city was slightly heavier compared to the WHO and CDC counterparts on the 3rd and 50th centiles, but on the 97th centile the WHO and CDC counterparts became significantly heavier than Mongolian girls, especially at the 12-17 years of age. Body weight in boys of UB city was lighter than the WHO and CDC references at 12-17 years old age. In Mongolian children BMI was greater on the 3rd centile. But on the 50th centile the BMI of Mongolian boys became smaller at 14-17 years old compared to WHO and CDC references Conclusion: The height, weight and BMI values of developed growth curves for Mongolian school children differ compared to the WHO and CDC growth references, especially for schoolchildren aged 12 years and upwards.
