Abstract

The study assessed the relationship between anthropometric and serum parameters of adolescent school children aged 10 – 19 years in upland and riverine public secondary schools in Rivers state. Four hundred and eighteen (418) adolescents were randomly selected from 4 secondary schools, two each from the upland and riverine areas for the study. Standard procedures were used to obtain data for all parameters. Serum from forty subjects was used for biochemical analysis. Data collected was analysed using statistical product and service solution (SPSS) for windows version 25. Data obtained was presented as frequencies, percentages, Pearson correlation was used to determine the relationship between variables and significance accepted at p ≤ 0.05. Significant correlation exist between BMI and haemoglobin in the upland (r = 0.364) and in the riverine area (r = 0.819) at p<0.05.While a positive correlation was observed between WHR and serum zinc in the Riverine (r = 0.731) at p<0.05, and a negative correlation exists between WHR and serum calcium in the Upland (r = -0.421) area at p<0.05. MUAC showed a positive correlation with Haemoglobin in the Upland (r = 0.452) at p<0.05. Triceps (r = -0.818) and sub-scapula (r = -0.747) skinfolds both showed negative correlations with serum zinc in the Riverine area at p<0.01 and p<0.05 respectively. Nutrition education and counseling are essential in secondary schools to reduce malnutrition among adolescent school children.
河流州高地和沿河公立中学 10 - 19 岁青少年学童的人体测量和血清参数之间的关系
该研究评估了河流州高地和沿河公立中学 10-19 岁青少年学生的人体测量和血清参数之间的关系。研究从四所中学随机抽取了四百一十八(418)名青少年,高地和沿河地区各两所。采用标准程序获取所有参数的数据。40 名受试者的血清被用于生化分析。收集到的数据使用统计产品和服务解决方案(SPSS)windows 版本 25 进行分析。获得的数据以频率和百分比表示,并使用皮尔逊相关性来确定变量之间的关系,显著性以 p ≤ 0.05 为限。在高原地区(r = 0.364)和沿河地区(r = 0.819),体重指数与血红蛋白之间存在显著相关性,p<0.05;在沿河地区,WHR 与血清锌之间存在正相关性(r = 0.731),p<0.05;在高原地区,WHR 与血清钙之间存在负相关性(r = -0.421),p<0.05。在高原地区,MUAC 与血红蛋白呈正相关(r = 0.452),p<0.05。在河流地区,肱三头肌(r = -0.818)和肩胛下(r = -0.747)皮褶均与血清锌呈负相关,相关系数分别为 p<0.01 和 p<0.05。在中学开展营养教育和咨询对减少青少年学生营养不良现象至关重要。
