Secular Trends in Physical Growth Among Peruvian Children and Adolescents Living at High Altitudes
OBJECTIVE: We aim (1) to examine secular trends in height, weight, and waist circumference (WC) among Peruvian children and adolescents living in the city of Junín and (2) to compare their growth status with the World Health Organization (WHO) and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reference data. METHODS: The sample included 2874 Peruvians (n = 1681 in the 2009 cohort and n = 1193 in the 2019 cohort) aged 6-16 years from the dis…
Secular trends in BMI, excess weight and body fat skinfolds in Peruvian children living at high altitude
Positive secular trends in BMIlog and SKFlog were observed, with significant increases at specific ages
Women Residents of Social Housing Complexes in Chile
En los años noventa, Chile redujo su déficit habitacional mediante la producción masiva de viviendas sociales. Una de estas propuestas fue la copropiedad horizontal, caracterizada por su alta densidad, mala calidad constructiva y localización periférica. Mediante un estudio cualitativo con mujeres residentes y a través del enfoque de las pruebas, analizamos el peso de este hábitat sobre sus vidas. Los resultados muestran impactos en la pareja, la…
Secular Trends in Physical Fitness of Peruvian Children Living at High-Altitude
The physical fitness of children is an important marker of health, and monitoring its temporal changes provides important information for developing interventions. We aimed to: (1) describe secular trends in physical fitness across age, within each sex, in Peruvian schoolchildren; and (2) verify if these trends are also present when adjusted for changes in height and weight. We sampled 1590 children (707 in 2009; 883 in 2019), aged 6-11 years. Ph…
Sibling Resemblance in Physical Activity Levels
Physical activity is associated with a host of positive health outcomes and is shaped by both genetic and environmental factors. We aim to: (1) estimate sibling resemblance in two physical activity phenotypes [total number of steps∙day -1 and minutes for moderate steps per day (min∙day -1 )]; and (2) investigate the joint associations of individual characteristics and shared natural environment with intra-pair sibling similarities in each phenoty…
Regional variation in growth status. The Peruvian health and optimist growth study
Peruvians living at different altitudes differ in their growth indicators (height, weight, BMI, and WC), with significant differences between those living at sea level relative to their peers from other regions. Further, Peruvian schoolchildren of both sexes from the three geographical areas significantly differ from their US counterparts
Stunting and Physical Fitness. The Peruvian Health and Optimist Growth Study
Stunting, defined as linear growth retardation, is a serious public health problem in developing countries. We aimed to (1) describe the prevalence of stunting in Peruvian youth living in three geographical regions, and to (2) determine height and physical fitness (PF) differences between stunted and normal-growth children across age and sex. We sampled 7918 subjects (7074 normal-growth and 844 stunted), aged 6–15 year, from sea-level, Amazon and…
A multilevel analysis of gross motor coordination of children and adolescents living at different altitudes
Child- and school-level variables were significantly associated with GMC T in this sample. These findings are important for the Peruvian community, especially school principals, councils and physical education teachers, helping them to define more efficient strategies and action plans to increase motor coordination in children
Are there gross motor coordination spurts during mid‐childhood
Objectives The aims of this study were (1) to identify the timing of the mid‐growth spurt (MGS) in stature in children and (2) to identify gross motor coordination (GMC) spurts when aligned by the age of attainment of the MGS (aMGS). Methods Stature, weight, and GMC were measured in 245 Portuguese children followed annually from 6 to 10 years. GMC was assessed and to estimate children's MGS in stature as well as GMC spurts in each of the four tes…
Growth velocity curves and pubertal spurt parameters of Peruvian children and adolescents living at different altitudes. The Peruvian health and optimist growth study
OBJETIVE: To estimate the growth parameters of Peruvian children and adolescents living at different altitudes. METHODS: The sample comprised 10 795 Peruvian children and adolescents (5781 girls, aged 6-7 years) from sea level, the Amazon region, and high altitude. Height was measured with standardized techniques. Mathematical and biological growth parameters were estimated using the Preece-Baines growth model I. RESULTS: Sea-level children and a…
Development of Physical Performance Tasks during Rapid Growth in Brazilian Children
Growth and physical performance scores were studied around three years of attainment of peak height velocity (PHV). We aimed to estimate the age at peak velocity, or at peak rate, in physical performance tasks, and sex-differences when aligned by biological age. A total of 131 boys and 123 girls, 8 to 14 years of age were recruited from the Cariri region of Brazil. A mixed longitudinal design was used with four overlapping age cohorts: 8, 10, 12,…
Resemblance in physical activity levels
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationships of biological, behavioral, familial, and environmental characteristics with siblings ́ physical activity (PA) levels as well as the intrapair resemblance in PA. METHODS: The sample comprises 834 (390 females) biological siblings [brother-brother (BB), sister-sister (SS), brother-sister (BS)] aged 9 to 20 years. Total PA index (TPAI) was estimated by questionnaire. Information on potential behavioral, f…
Familial resemblance in gross motor coordination. The Peruvian Sibling Study on Growth and Health
These results demonstrate statistically significant sibling resemblance in GMC. Age, BMI, PF and geographical area were significant correlates of GMC
Centile Curves and Reference Values for Height, Body Mass, Body Mass Index and Waist Circumference of Peruvian Children and Adolescents
This study aimed to provide height, body mass, BMI and waist circumference (WC) growth centile charts for school-children, aged 4-17 years, from central Peru, and to compare Peruvian data with North-American and Argentinean references. The sample consisted of 8753 children and adolescents (4130 boys and 4623 girls) aged 4 to 17 years, from four Peruvian cities: Barranco, La Merced, San Ramón and Junín. Height, body mass and WC were measured accor…
Estatus ponderal y aptitud cardiorrespiratoria en escolares de la región central del Perú
There was a high frequency of overweight and obesity among school students who reside in Barranco. Low CRF is associated with overweight and obesity
Valoración de la aptitud física en niños y adolescentes
Objectives. Construct percentile charts and physical fitness (PF) reference values stratified by age and sex of children and adolescents from Peru’s central region. Materials and methods. The sample was comprised of 7,843 subjects (4,155 females and 3,688 males) between the ages of 6 to 17 years old. Physical fitness was assessed using six tests developed by EUROFIT, FITNESSGRAM and AAPHERD. Percentile charts were developed separately for males a…
