摘要
背景:青少年营养不良是全球范围内一个严重的健康问题。有关苏丹青少年营养不良的数据很少:方法:我们进行了一项横断面研究,调查苏丹北部青少年学童发育迟缓和瘦弱的发生率及相关因素。调查问卷用于收集社会人口信息。测量了体重和身高,并采用世界卫生组织推荐的年龄身高和年龄体重指数临界值,然后进行了逻辑回归分析:在 384 名登记的青少年中,202 名(52.6%)为女性,182 名(47.4%)为男性。这些青少年的年龄中位数(IQR)为 15.1(14.0-16.3)岁。76 名(19.8%)和 52 名(15.4%)青少年分别存在发育迟缓和消瘦问题,15 名(3.9%)青少年同时存在发育迟缓和消瘦问题。多变量分析显示,年龄(调整后 OR [AOR]=1.30,95% CI 1.08 至 1.57)和男性性别(AOR=5.82,95% CI 3.11 至 10.91)的增加与发育迟缓有关。男性(AOR=2.08,95% CI 1.14 至 3.82)和吸烟/吸二手烟(AOR=2.61,95% CI 1.07 至 6.36)与瘦弱有关:本研究的结果表明,发育迟缓和消瘦都是重要的健康问题,尤其是在男孩、年龄较大的参与者和吸烟者中。
Prevalence and associated factors of stunting and thinness among adolescent Sudanese schoolchildren: a cross-sectional study.
Background: Malnutrition among adolescents is a considerable health problem worldwide. There are scarce data on undernutrition among adolescents in Sudan.
Methods: A cross‑sectional study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of stunting and thinness among adolescent schoolchildren in northern Sudan. The questionnaires were used to collect information on sociodemographics. Weights and heights were measured and the height-for-age and body mass index-for-age cut-offs recommended by the WHO were applied, followed by logistic regression analysis.
Results: Of 384 enrolled adolescents, 202 (52.6%) were females and 182 (47.4%) were males. The median (IQR) age of these adolescents was 15.1 (14.0‒16.3) y. Seventy-six (19.8%) and 52 (15.4%) adolescents had stunting and thinness, respectively, and 15 (3.9%) had both stunting and thinness. Multivariate analysis showed that increased age (adjusted OR [AOR]=1.30, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.57) and male gender (AOR=5.82, 95% CI 3.11 to 10.91) were associated with stunting. Male gender (AOR=2.08, 95% CI 1.14 to 3.82) and smoking/tobacco snuff (AOR=2.61, 95% CI 1.07 to 6.36) were associated with thinness.
Conclusions: The findings of the current study are that both stunting and thinness are important health problems, especially among boys, older participants and smokers.
