  • Distribution of BMI in children

    Open AccessRaffaela Zannolli, G MorgeseARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1996

    This paper reports a study of body-mass index (weight/height2) frequency distribution in 2858 schoolchildren (1440 males, 1418 females), 6-14 years old: (a) not taking into account the degree of skewness (z-score) and (b) taking it into account (LMS method by Cole). The z-score detected no evident problems of severe wasting conditions, but did detect the presence of severe fattening conditions. The LMS method gave a more balanced distribution. Me…

  • Influence of age, sex, and BMI on waist-to-thigh circumference ratio in children

    Open AccessRaffaela Zannolli, Francesco Chiarelli et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1995

    In adults the distribution of body fat towards the central region seems a good predictor of disease and mortality. Central fat deposition tends to increase with age; sex and obesity further influence this trend. In children the distribution of adiposity to the central region is not well known. Recently, using circumferences of waist and thigh, we computed the percentile curves of the waist to thigh circumference ratio (WTR) from 2858 subjects (14…
