摘要

体重指数（BMI）是筛查肥胖症的常用工具。在儿科人群中使用体重指数有其优势和局限性。它是一种廉价且易于使用的工具，可为临床医生、患者和护理人员提供见解。它可以帮助指导关于体重对健康的潜在影响的讨论，尽管其使用存在实际和哲学上的局限性。临床医生应了解在实践中使用 BMI 的细微差别。本文简要介绍了体重指数的历史、在儿科中的使用方法、其优点和局限性，以及使用体重指数促进与患者及家属讨论的策略。[2024; 53(8):e275-e277.].

Body Mass Index in the Pediatric Population: Understanding Its History and Current Applications.

Body mass index (BMI) is a tool that is commonly used to screen for obesity. There are advantages and limitations of the use of BMI in the pediatric population. It is an inexpensive and easily implemented tool that can provide insight for clinicians, patients, and caregivers. It may help guide the discussion of the potential health impacts of weight, although there are both practical and philosophical limitations to its use. Clinicians should be aware of the nuances of the use of BMI in practice. This article covers a brief history of the BMI, how it is used in pediatrics, its advantages and limitations, as well as strategies for using BMI to facilitate discussions with patients and families. [Pediatr Ann. 2024;53(8):e275-e277.].
