Nutritional anthropometry of children and adolescents in Spain in the middle of the 20th century (1934–1965)
Objective: The general objective was to explore the nutritional condition of schoolchildren, based on certain body measurements published in various reports (from 1934 to 1965). More specifically, we intended to analyse, first, the secular trend of growth by comparing historical anthropometric data with current national and international figures and, second, to study the possible variability of body measurements at that time among different Spani…
Anthropometric Studies of Schoolchildren During the First Decades of the 20th Century in Spain and Argentina
OBJECTIVE: The practice of anthropometry in schools at the beginning of the 20th century originated in Europe and Latin America in conjunction with the emergence of hygienism and epidemiological auxology. The aim of this work is to deepen the knowledge of these practices in Spain and Argentina and to compare the available growth data in order to identify possible differences between the populations. METHODS: The anthropometric data of 1693 boys a…
Concordance between methods of estimating body fat in pediatric and adolescent age
The three techniques used to measure %BF show high concordance. All ICC values between pairs of methods are above 0.90. The comparison of %BF by anthropometry with BIA or NIR shows that the affinity is higher in intermediate adiposity percentages than in extreme ones. This trend occurs in both sexes and age groups.
Differences in wasting assessment through Middle‐Upper Arm Circumference ( Muac ) adjusted by sex, age and geographic origin for children aged 6–59 months
