Abstract

There are many factors that have an influence on obesity therefore, early regular monitoring of morphological characteristics and nutritional status of children is the best prevention method. This study aimed to examine the influence of two regional zones in Montenegro on morphological differences and the nutritional status of school girls. The sample of respondents was selected from several different primary schools. The sample was divided by regions (Vlada Crne Gore, 2011) into two groups, girls from the Central region (n-55, 10.21±.72 years), and the Coastal region (n- 42, 10.33±.59 years). Morphological characteristics were assessed using a battery of four variables: body height (BH), body weight (BW), waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference (HC). BMI and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) values were calculated. We used WHO cutoff points for the assessment of the children’s nutrition status. For determining differences between children living in different regions we used a T-test for independent samples. 27.27% of girls from the Central region are obese compared to 23.81% of obese in the Coastal region. When comparing groups by regional regions, it is noticeable that there is no significant difference in morphological characteristics and body mass index. Although there is no difference in the morphological characteristics between girls of the Central and Coastal regions, for more detailed conclusions, a larger number of morphological parameters should be monitored on a larger sample of respondents.
不同地域女生的形态特征与体重状况
影响肥胖的因素很多,因此,早期定期监测儿童的形态特征和营养状况是最好的预防方法。本研究旨在探讨黑山两个区域对女学生形态差异和营养状况的影响。受访者的样本选自几所不同的小学。样本按地区划分(Vlada Crne Gore, 2011)分为两组,中部地区女孩(n-55, 10.21±。72年),沿海地区(n- 42, 10.33±。59年)。形态学特征通过四个变量进行评估:身高(BH)、体重(BW)、腰围(WC)和臀围(HC)。计算BMI和腰臀比(WHR)值。我们使用世界卫生组织的分界点来评估儿童的营养状况。为了确定生活在不同地区的儿童之间的差异,我们对独立样本使用了t检验。中部地区女孩肥胖率为27.27%,沿海地区为23.81%。当按区域进行分组比较时,值得注意的是,形态特征和体重指数没有显著差异。虽然中部和沿海地区女孩的形态特征没有差异,但为了得到更详细的结论,需要在更大的调查对象样本上监测更多的形态参数。
