Knowledge about body composition is important in metabolic and nutritional studies. In this cross-sectional study the body composition of 403 healthy white Dutch children and adolescents was evaluated by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Possible determinants of body composition were analyzed. In 85 subjects the results of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) were compared with DXA. Fat mass, lean tissue mass, and bone mineral content were greater in older boys and girls. Percentage body fat was greater in older girls but not in boys and it was higher in girls than in boys at all ages. From the age of 14 y boys had higher lean tissue mass and bone mineral content than girls. Tanner stage had a significant relation with body composition in both sexes. Percentage body fat was lower in boys in stage 4 than in stage 3 and was higher in consecutive Tanner stages in girls. After adjustment for age, Tanner stage was significantly positively related to lean tissue mass and bone mineral content in boys and girls and to percentage body fat and fat mass in girls. The profession of the parents and the education of the father had a significant negative correlation with percentage body fat and fat mass in girls (P < 0.01). Physical activity was related to lean tissue mass (P = 0.001) but not to fat mass in boys after adjustment for age. A high correlation and a small difference was found between lean body mass by BIA and lean tissue mass by DXA. Body composition in healthy Dutch children and adolescents is related to age, sex, Tanner stage, socioeconomic status, and physical activity. 相似文献

The current study examined the association between central adiposity, measured by waist circumference, and cardiovascular reactivity to stress among 106 White and 105 Black adolescents, approximately 50% of whom were girls. Participants engaged in 4 laboratory tasks while cardiovascular reactivity measures were taken. Independent of body mass index, race, and gender, participants with a greater waist circumference exhibited greater systolic blood pressure reactivity and diastolic blood pressure reactivity (boys only). Race did not affect the results. Results from the present study suggest that central adiposity is associated with blood pressure reactivity early in life, especially in adolescent boys.

Studied the characteristics of family environments associated with children"s Type A behaviors, anger frequency and expression, hostile outlook, hostility displayed during an interview, and cardiovascular responses to laboratory stressors. Two measures of family environment, Positive Affiliation and Authoritarianism, were derived by a factor analysis of the Family Environment Scale completed by parents. 66 girls and 48 boys enrolled in Grades 2–12 from 114 families served as Ss. Families scoring low on Positive Affiliation had children who were assessed as more angry and hostile. Boys from these families had a more pronounced heart rate response to all laboratory stressors. High Authoritarianism scores in combination with low Positive Affiliation scores in families predicted a heightened heart rate response in boys. Sex differences in the pattern of associations among family and child characteristics were also found. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

Defining obesity in children by biological endpoint rather than population distribution 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of fatness in children with dyslipoproteinemia and high blood pressure, with the purpose of proposing standards for childhood obesity which are directly related to intermediate biological parameters that predict future disease. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study of a large, nationally representative sample of Australian schoolchildren. SUBJECTS: 1834 children aged 9 or 15 years, with skinfolds blood lipid measurements on 1144 and with skinfolds and blood pressure measurements on 1757. MEASUREMENTS: Skinfolds thicknesses measured at four locations (triceps, biceps, subscapular and suprailiac) using holtain calipers, percent body fat calculated from the sum of four skinfolds, Quetelet's index calculated from weight and height, waist and hip circumferences, plasma total cholesterol and triglycerides determined using a Technicon Autoanalyser II, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) analysed following precipitation with heparin manganese, and systolic blood pressure (SBP) measured using a standard mercury sphygmomanometer. RESULTS: For 9 years old girls, 15 year old girls and 9 years old boys, dichotomising their HDLC and SBP measurements by percent body fat defined the two groups most homogeneous in terms of a measure of within-group variation. The cut-points in percent body fat were in the ranges 29-35% (girls) and 17-20% (boys). CONCLUSION: It is feasible to use the current biomedical status of individual children to define criteria for obesity. A cut-off point of 30% body mass as fat for girls and 20% for boys appears to be an appropriate standard. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine body composition, coronary risk factors and physical activity and the inter-relationships of these variables in Singaporean school children. METHODOLOGY: This study examined 1681 children (784 boys and 897 girls) from eight primary and seven secondary schools to determine percentiles for body stature and composition, blood pressure, lipids/lipoproteins and blood glucose by gender for three age divisions. An exercise and leisure pursuit questionnaire was administered to ascertain self-reported physical activity patterns. Anthropometric data and blood pressure readings were taken. Capillary blood was drawn from each child via finger prick sampling following an overnight fast. The concentrations of total cholesterol (TCHOL), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and glucose (GLU) were determined from plasma using a dry chemistry analyser. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL) and the TCHOL/HDL-C ratio were determined by calculation. RESULTS: While 47.7% of boys and 22.0% of girls disclosed active lifestyles, differences between the active and non-active children were found in coronary risk factors TCHOL, LDL-C, TG, TCHOL/HDL-C and per cent body fat. No differences were shown between the two groups in HDL-C, GLU and blood pressure. There was a high correlation between the various measures of body composition with the highest correlation (r = 0.806, P < 0.001) found between body mass index (BMI) and waist measurements. CONCLUSIONS: Children in this study who reported no activity or relatively little activity were found to have TCHOL, LDL-C, TG, TCHOL/HDL-C and per cent body fat that were higher than those who reported moderately high or vigorous physical activity patterns. 相似文献

To determine whether gender differences in body fat could be detected in prepubertal children using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), body composition was measured in 20 healthy boys aged 3-8 y matched for age, height and weight with 20 healthy girls. Although boys and girls did not differ in age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI) or bone mineral content, the boys had a lower percentage of body fat (13.5 +/- 5.1 vs 20.4 +/- 6.1%, P < 0.01), a lower fat mass (3.2 +/- 2.0 vs 4.9 +/- 3.1 kg, P < 0.01), and a higher bone-free lean tissue mass (18.6 +/- 4.3 vs 17.0 +/- 3.5 kg, P < 0.01) than the girls. Girls had approximately 50% more body fat than the boys. This is the first DEXA study to show that boys aged 3-8 y have less body fat than girls of similar age, height and weight. Thus, this technology demonstrates that significant gender differences in body composition are evident, well before the onset of puberty. 相似文献

Growth and maturation during adolescence has not been well described in rural African populations, although it may represent the missing link between high levels of preschool stunting and nearly 'normal' adult heights. In 1995 the homes of subjects aged 10.3-17.5 years, living in a rural area of Senegal, were visited, and all adolescents present, 1527 boys and 1126 girls, were included in the analysis. A number of girls were absent because they worked in the capital city Dakar. Resident girls (n = 705) had significantly higher means than boys for all anthropometric variables (weight, body mass index, arm circumference and muscle arm circumference, triceps and subscapular skinfolds), except for height and head circumference. Girls who had just returned from seasonal migration to Dakar (n = 415) were, on average, 2 kg heavier, but not taller, than resident girls (p < 0.0001). The girls fell off in height from 11 to 13 years compared to the NCHS reference and then 'caught up' until the age of 17, while boys fell off during the entire age span. Mean age at menarche was estimated at 16.1 years (95% fiducial CI: 15.8-16.4) from status quo data by probit analysis. No significant difference was found between residents and migrants. Postmenarcheal girls had better nutritional status than premenarcheal girls in terms of height, weight, body mass index, percentage body fat and arm muscle circumference (p < 0.0001). In conclusion, puberty, as assessed by age at menarche, is delayed by about 3 years in this population, probably due to malnutrition. 相似文献

Examined the relationship between anger and elevations in cardiovascular risk among 213 13–18 yr old adolescents. Ss were assessed on an anger index and also on certain physical (e.g., blood pressure, cholesterol) and psychological (e.g., anxiety, life dissatisfaction) variables associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The anger index was factor analyzed, producing a terminal solution of 2 factors: Frequent Anger Directed Outward and Anger-Producing Situations. Regression analyses showed that the factor scores were predictive of the physical and psychological measures of cardiovascular risk, and that the factor scores were differentially related to these indices. Findings are supportive of systematic study both of the multidimensional nature of anger and of the associations of the dimensions of anger with indices of cardiovascular risk.

OBJECTIVE: To determine subsequent growth and body composition of children born to women with type 1 diabetes compared with controls. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Follow-up of offspring born to women with type 1 diabetes and controls from an earlier study of diabetes and lactation. SUBJECTS: Seventeen nondiabetic offspring of women with type 1 diabetes and 18 offspring of control women (age range 5.9 to 9.0 years). OUTCOME MEASURES: Anthropometric measures at follow-up included height, weight, triceps and subscapular skinfold thickness. Information on usual nutrient intakes and physical activity patterns was elicited through questionnaires. Body composition was determined from skinfold thickness measures and bioelectrical impedance analysis. A child was identified as obese if he or she met at least 2 of the following 4 criteria for obesity: (1) weight-for-height equal to or greater than 120% of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) reference median plus triceps skinfold greater than the 85th percentile; (2) body mass index (BMI) greater than the 95th percentile for age and sex; (3) percent body fat (from impedance measures) equal to or greater than 25 for boys and 30 for girls; or (4) percent body fat (from sum of skinfold measures) equal to or greater than 25 for boys and 30 for girls. RESULTS: There were 7 obese children in the type 1 diabetes group and none in the control group (p = 0.007). Obese children did not differ from nonobese children in birth weight, body fat patterning, nutrient intake, physical activity patterns, maternal pregravid weight or blood glucose control during the last trimester of pregnancy. Mothers of obese children, however, had fewer years of education and gained more weight during pregnancy compared with mothers of nonobese children in the type 1 diabetes group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Obesity during childhood is a significant problem among nondiabetic children of women with type 1 diabetes. The association of childhood obesity with lower maternal education and excessive pregnancy weight gain warrants further investigation. 相似文献

Pubertal development is a nonlinear process progressing from prepubescent beginnings through biological, physical, and psychological changes to full sexual maturity. To tether theoretical concepts of puberty with sophisticated longitudinal, analytical models capable of articulating pubertal development more accurately, we used nonlinear mixed-effects models to describe both the timing and tempo of pubertal development in the sample of 364 White boys and 373 White girls measured across 6 years as part of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development. Individual differences in timing and tempo were extracted with models of logistic growth. Differential relations emerged for how boys' and girls' timing and tempo of development were related to physical characteristics (body mass index, height, and weight) and psychological outcomes (internalizing problems, externalizing problems, and risky sexual behavior). Timing and tempo are associated in boys but not girls. Pubertal timing and tempo are particularly important for predicting psychological outcomes in girls but only sparsely related to boys' psychological outcomes. Results highlight the importance of considering the nonlinear nature of puberty and expand the repertoire of possibilities for examining important aspects of how and when pubertal processes contribute to development.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinical utility of a new age-adjusted measure of body fat distribution (based on waist and hip circumferences) and stature, in relation to biochemical complications in obese children. DESIGN: Cross-sectional, clinical study. The formula to calculate the common standard deviation score (SDS) of waist-to-hip ratio/height (WHR/Ht) was obtained from the data of control children. The relationship between WHR/Ht SDS, as the age-adjusted measure, in obese children and their clinical laboratory data was evaluated. SUBJECTS: Outpatient obese Japanese children (102 boys and 75 girls) and control children (508 boys and 549 girls), ranging in age from 6-15 y. MEASUREMENTS: Height, body weight, waist girth, hip girth, triceps and subscapular skinfold thicknesses, as anthropometric measures. Percent overweight, percent body fat, waist girth, WHR and WHR/Ht SDS as criteria for obesity. Clinical laboratory analyses for fasting blood samples of obese children. RESULTS: The WHR/Ht SDS closely correlated with age in obese children, thus reflecting the progress of abdominal obesity during growth. The obese boys were more hyperlipidaemic than the girls were, although the percent overweight was similar in both genders. The percent overweight, percent body fat, waist girth and WHR/Ht SDS all correlated well with triglyceride (TG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and insulin in boys, whereas only waist girth and WHR/Ht SDS showed a close correlation with TG and insulin in girls. The obese subjects were subdivided according to the number of abnormal values observed in TG, ALT and insulin. For obese boys, all five indices of obesity were higher in the groups with complications than in the group without. In the girls, only the WHR/Ht SDS constantly differed between subgroups. WHR/Ht SDS most obviously distinguished the groups with complications from the other group with a wide margin of difference (2-fold in boys and > 2-fold in girls) in the mean values. CONCLUSION: The WHR/Ht SDS can serve as an index predicting the occurrence of biochemical complications in obese children ranging from the age of 6-15 y. 相似文献

AIM: To analyze differences in blood pressure levels in children and adolescents in Galicia with those of peers living in other parts of Spain. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study done in a rural area in Galicia. PARTICIPANTS: 870 boys and girls 6 to 16 years old. They are compared with published data from the RICARDIN study, that includes 10,042 participants selected at the schools in nine centers of Spain (one was the center in Galicia). MEASUREMENTS: Standardized methodology and certification procedures were used in Galicia and Spain to measure weight, height, Quételet index, systolic (SBP) and fifth-phase diastolic blood pressure (DBP5) and sexual maturation. Data are presented by sex and age group (1 year) both in Galicia and Spain. RESULTS: From 11 years and above, girls in Galicia present higher SBP than in Spain. In boys, the difference appears later. Galicia shows higher DBP5 levels than Spain in every age-sex group. In relation to obesity, the differences are of a small magnitude in the Quételet index, again, higher values in Galicia. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first population-based study available that rules out the possibility that the observed differences, previously already suggested, could be attributed to methodological problems. The differences in blood pressure and obesity between Galicia and other areas of Spain, already previously suggested in adults, can be the reflection of differences present from childhood. 相似文献

This correlation study explicated the association of perceived racism and trait anger to resting blood pressure in a high school sample of 234 Blacks. Perceived racism and trait anger were assessed via self-report, and resting blood pressure was measured with a noninvasive blood pressure monitor. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that perceived racism and trait anger were not independent predictors of systolic or diastolic blood pressure. However, these analyses revealed that the interactive effects of perceived racism and trait anger were predictive of systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Although perceived racism was not significantly related to blood pressure among those who were high in trait anger, perceived racism was inversely associated with blood pressure among those who were low in trait anger. The findings may have important longer term implications for future research examining the contribution of psychosocial factors to cardiac and vascular functioning in Blacks.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the blood pressure (BP) measurement protocol for Japanese preschool children, systolic BP (K1) and diastolic BP (K4, K5) were measured along with anthropometric values. METHODOLOGY: Commercially available mercury sphygmomanometers were used. In the first group of children (group A), BP was measured in 79 boys and 85 girls using a cuff 9 cm wide and 23 cm long. In the second group (group B), the length and circumference of the upper right arm of 147 boys and 139 girls were measured to select cuffs appropriate for their sizes. Blood pressure measurements were performed twice on the right arm of the children in the seated position at a mean interval of 5 min. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the anthropometric values (height, bodyweight, body mass index [BMI], length and circumference of the upper arm) between groups A and B. The BP values at K1, K4 and K5 in the first measurement of group B were 91 +/- 9, 54 +/- 8, and 48 +/- 10 mmHg (boys) and 90 +/- 9, 54 +/- 8, and 48 +/- 12 mmHg (girls), respectively. There were no significant differences between the first and second measurements in both groups, however, there were significant differences in the first and second measurements of K4 between groups A and B. Multiple regression analysis by the stepwise method revealed a strong correlation between K1 and the length of the upper arm in the boys and the bodyweight in the girls: between K4 and the bodyweight in the boys and the BMI in the girls, and between K5 and the height in the boys and the upper arm circumference in the girls. CONCLUSIONS: From these results it would appear that a single measurement is sufficient under appropriate measurement conditions such as rest before measurement and the choice of the cuff size according to the upper arm circumference, and that BP is closely correlated with the anthropometric values in preschool children. 相似文献

Trait anger is a robust predictor of the angry and aggressive response to hostile situational input, but it is important to better understand the mechanisms underlying this dimension of personality. The present two studies (total N = 106) examined the possibility that individuals low in trait anger systematically recruit cognitive control resources within hostile contexts. These resources would likely be useful in facilitating emotion regulation operations. In support of this cognitive control framework, Experiment 1 found that low (but not high) trait anger individuals exhibited superior response-switching abilities in a hostile stimulus context. Experiment 2 conceptually replicated this pattern using a different cognitive control measure related to flanker interference effects. The convergence of findings across studies provides one likely mechanism for the reduced levels of reactivity at low levels of trait anger. Findings are discussed in relation to broader theories of trait anger and emotion regulation. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

A total of 295 children (127 White boys, 15 Black boys, 133 White girls, and 20 Black girls) participated in reactivity examinations in 1987 (all were in 3rd grade; age, M?=?9.1 years), 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, and 1993 (all were in 9th grade; age, M?=?15.1 years). An analysis of residualized reactivity change values indicated consistent and significant ethnicity effects (Blacks greater than Whites) for systolic and diastolic blood pressure and for heart rate. Gender effects were also apparent for both systolic and diastolic blood pressure (boys greater than girls). These data suggest that the transition from childhood to adolescence is associated with a significant pattern of ethnic differences in reactivity, although the association of this pattern with the development of cardiovascular risk and disease remains to be ascertained.

In this study, the authors examined associations between preference- and reputation-based peer status and weight-related behaviors and cognitions for both adolescent boys and girls. Sociometric measures of peer likability and peer-perceived popularity, as well as self-reported measures of body size, dieting behavior, and weight-related cognitions were collected from a sample of 441 adolescents in Grades 11 and 12. Results revealed weight-related cognitions for girls (concerning obesity) and boys (concerning musculature/fitness). Peer-perceived popularity, but not likability, was significantly associated with both boys' and girls' body size and dieting. Lower levels of popularity were associated with heavier body shapes for girls and with both thin and heavier body shapes for boys. Findings suggest that peer status is an important source of social reinforcement associated with weight-related behaviors and cognitions.

Bone-mineral-free lean body mass (LBM) and fat mass (FM) were determined by DXA scanning in 343 healthy children and adolescents (142 males) aged 4.9-19.3 yr. The main sex difference was the earlier flattening of the LBM according to age curve for girls compared to boys and the higher increase in FM with age in girls. 332 persons (140 males) were examined again after 1 yr and accretion rates for LBM and FM were calculated. The main sex difference was a later and higher peak in LBM accretion in boys compared to girls and a nearly constant increase in FM throughout puberty in girls, while boys had no increase in FM during puberty. The differences may reflect the higher androgen production in male puberty. 相似文献

The average blood pressure measured in a representative sample of 8th grade juveniles (14-16 years) was 120/70 mm Hg. Mean systolic pressure was 5 mm Hg higher in boys. The 90th percentile was 135/80 mm Hg for both sexes. Systolic and diastolic pressure rose with increasing body weight. Correlation with height was less obvious. Difference in weight could not account for all the sex difference in blood pressure. Association of sexual maturation with higher blood pressure values was more pronounced in boys. 相似文献

The relationship between adiposity and blood pressure has been studied among 17,067 healthy children aged 4 to 18 years old. The correlation of blood pressure with fatness, expressed as non lean body mass, is smaller than the correlation with lean body mass, especially in boys. Blood pressure association with lean body mass strongly increases during puberty growth in boys. These data suggest that during adolescence blood pressure association with weight is mainly due to growth and physical-maturation and that fatness has less influence. A careful analysis of somatic features of adolescents with high blood pressure seems necessary before advocating and improved system of weight control. Preference of blood pressure reference to height is again strengthened. 相似文献
