“…Com estas medidas, agências de saúde, como o Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2 dos EUA, desenvolveram curvas normativas de crescimento físico utilizadas por muito tempo como referência em diversos países. Outros países (Itália 3 , Arábia Saudita 4 , Irã 5 , Turquia 6 , Índia 7 e Grécia 8 ) criaram suas próprias curvas de crescimento, mas, mesmo assim, realizam comparações com os pontos de referência do CDC.…”

Objective: To compare the growth of Brazilian children and adolescents with reference growth charts.Methods: School-based cross-sectional study involving 41,654 students (23,328 boys and 18,326 girls) aged 7 to 17 years. Physical growth variables (body weight, height) and body mass index (BMI) were measured. Height, 50th percentile, and BMI, 85th percentile, were compared with the World Health Organization (WHO) reference values, and weight, 50th percentile, was compared with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth charts. Results:Mean height and body weight of Brazilian schoolchildren were generally higher than the WHO and CDC reference values for both genders at most ages. BMI values of Brazilian schoolchildren were significantly lower than the WHO obesity values at all ages. Conclusion:The growth in body weight, height, and BMI of children and adolescents in the urban area of Brazil is increasingly similar to those reported in developed countries. Further prospective studies should be conducted in Brazil comparing their results with the international growth charts to enable more accurate inferences.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2010;86(2):115-120: Growth, anthropometry, child health, adolescent health, cross-sectional studies. ResumoObjetivo: Comparar crianças e adolescentes brasileiros com curvas de referência para crescimento físico. Resultados: Ao comparar os valores de estatura e peso corporal de ambos os sexos com os valores de referência da OMS e do CDC foi identificado que os jovens brasileiros atingiram e ultrapassaram os pontos de referência na maioria das idades. Os IMC dos escolares brasileiros foram inferiores aos valores de sobrepeso da OMS para todas as idades. Métodos Conclusão:A magnitude de crescimento em peso corporal, estatura e IMC de crianças e adolescentes da zona urbana do Brasil está cada vez mais semelhante à reportada em países desenvolvidos. Sugere-se que estudos prospectivos no Brasil sejam realizados e comparados com curvas internacionais de crescimento físico a fim de poder realizar inferências mais precisas.

“…Growth curves are presented in Figures 1-3. In addition, we also compared the height curves presented here with that for normal Turkish children [Neyzi et al, 2006 in Figure 4a-d.The mean birth length was reduced by À0.5 SD for Turkish standards in both boys and girls. The mean height SDS of boys and girls at 6 months of age were À0.7 for healthy counterparts, corresponding to À1.9 and À2.2 at 3 years of age and at 8 years of age, respectively.…”

We present growth curves of 1,726 Turkish children with Down syndrome (DS) between 0 and 18 years of age and investigate the factors that affect growth including congenital heart disease (CHD) and hypothyroidism. Longitudinal measurements of height, weight, and head circumference (HC) were assessed and accompanying major malformations were recorded. Growth curves were monitored using Cole's LMS method. The mean birth length was reduced by À0.5 standard deviation (SD) for Turkish standards in both boys and girls. Pubertal growth spurt of the girls with DS started 1 year earlier, their puberty duration was short and pubertal annual growth rate was inadequate, and as a result the final height was À3.06 SD for Turkish standards. Although the age at onset of pubertal growth spurt and puberty duration of the boys were similar to normal population, their pubertal annual growth rate was inadequate; thus the final height was À2.56 SD for Turkish standards. The final weight values were similar to normal population. The mean HC values of DS children were corresponded to À0.9 SD for Turkish standards at birth; however after 6 months values were below À2 SD. The final HC values were À1.02 SD for boys and À2.21 SD for girls for Turkish standards. We observed that weight was decreased in DS children with severe CHD during first 4 years of life. However, there is no statistically significant difference in values of height and head circumference between patients with or without severe CHD group. In addition, hypothyroidism had no effect on growth in DS patients. Ó 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Key words: Down syndrome; growth; charts; height; weight; head circumference INTRODUCTION Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal disorder and leading cause of intellectual disability and growth retardation. Average height is around the À2 standard deviation (SD) for most ages compared to normal population. The growth pattern is impaired from birth to adolescence and particularly during the interval of 6 months to 3 years and puberty [Cronk et al., 1988]. In addition, these patients also have reduced pubertal growth spurt, contributing to the low final height [Cronk et al., 1988;Anner en et al., 1990]. It was demonstrated that children with DS do not have growth hormone (GH) deficiency [Anner en et al., 1986], but hypothalamic dysfunction was reported by Castells et al. [1996]. A study performed by Anner en et al. [1999] revealed that GH was given to children with DS increased growth velocity. However, Myrelid et al. [2010] reported that GH treatment had no effect on final height.Since children with DS have different growth patterns than other normal children, it is critically important to utilize syndrome specific growth charts. First growth charts for DS have been developed by Roche [1965], followed by Rarick and Seefeldt [1974]. Cronk et al. [1988] was studied 780 children with DS between 1 month and 18 years of age and established growth charts with these data in USA and also showed that moderate to severe CHD affected growt...

74Çocuklarda Tekrarlayan Karın Ağrısı:Organik mi, Fonksiyonel mi?Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Çocuklarda sık görülen bir durum olan tekrarlayan karın ağrısı organik ya da fonksiyonel olabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, tekrarlayan karın ağrısına yol açan parazitozlar, çöl-yak hastalığı, idrar yolu enfeksiyonu, Helicobacter pylori enfeksiyonu gibi organik nedenlerin değerlendirilmesi ve fonksiyonel gastrointestinal bozuklukların belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : Çalışmaya başka bilinen bir hastalığı olmayan ve ilaç kullanmayan, en az üç ay süreyle en az üç kez tekrarlayan karın ağrısı olan çocuklar dâhil edildi. Ağrı karakteri, laboratuvar bulguları, radyolojik incelemeler, histopatolojik bulgular geriye dönük olarak değer-lendirildi. B Bu ul lg gu ul la ar r: : Çalışmaya ortalama yaşı 10,7±3,4 (4-17) yıl olan, ortanca 12 (3-20) aydır tekrarlayan karın ağrısı olan 151 (%57,6'sı kız) hasta alındı. Roma III kriterlerine göre; 81 (%53,6) hastada fonksiyonel gastrointestinal bozukluk, 70 (%46,4) hastada karın ağrısına yol açabilecek organik bir neden saptandı. Fonksiyonel ve organik nedenler arasında yaş, cinsiyet, ağrı süresi ve ağrı özellikleri açısından fark bulunmadı. Fonksiyonel gastrointestinal bozukluklar arasında en sık (%62,9) fonksiyonel karın ağrısı saptandı. Organik nedenli tekrarlayan karın ağrısı olan hastaların %46'sında Helicobacter pylori enfeksiyonu, %10,5'inde dışkıda parazit yumurtası, %3,9'unda biyopsi destekli çölyak hastalığı saptandı. S So on nu uç ç: : Fonksiyonel ve organik karın ağrısının ayırt edilmesinde yaş, cinsiyet, ağrı özellikleri, eşlik eden başka yakınmalar, fizik inceleme bulguları açısından bir fark saptanmamıştır. Çölyak hastalığı, tekrarlayan karın ağrısı olan bütün çocuklarda taranmalıdır.A An na ah h t ta ar r K Ke e l li i m me e l le er r: : Çocuk; çölyak hastalığı; karın ağrısı; Helicobacter pylori A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : Recurrent abdominal pain is common in childhood, it may be functional or associated with organic disease. Evaluation of organic causes of recurrent abdominal pain such as parasitic enfestations, celiac disease, uriner tract infection, Helicobacter pylori infection and determine functional gastrointestinal disorders in children were aimed in the study. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : Children with recurrent abdominal pain more than three times in frequency, for at least three months duration, without a known medical history and drug usage were recruited to study.
