Use of body segments for assess growth and nutritional status in children and adolescents

Introduction: Weight and height are essential information to assess growth and nutritional status in pediatrics. The determination of them by direct method is difficult in hospitalized patients. The objective was to analyze the correlation between weight and mid arm circumference (MAC), and between...

description Introduction: Weight and height are essential information to assess growth and nutritional status in pediatrics. The determination of them by direct method is difficult in hospitalized patients. The objective was to analyze the correlation between weight and mid arm circumference (MAC), and between height and knee height (KH) of children and teenagers so it can be used to asses growth and nutritional status in hospitalized children. Population and methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out. We included children and teenagers of both gender of 2 and 19 years old. To establish the correlation, the correlation coefficient r and determination R2 were calculated with a significance of p <0.05, plotting the correlation. The MedCalc V12.5.0.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results: Data from 861 subjects were collected. 484 females (56.2% CI95% 52.8-59.5), and 377 males (43.8% CI 95% 40.4-47.2) aged between 2 and 19 years. A correlation was obtained between the KH and the height of r = 0.98 for both sexes, (R2 = 0.96 females and R2 = 0.97 in males), p <0.001. The MAC showed a correlation with the weight of r = 0.92 (R2 = 0.76) in males and r = 0.87 (R2 = 0.85) in females, both with p <0.001. Conclusions: Body segments KH and MAC have a high correlation with height and weight, respectively. That is why we propose to use them for the assessment of growth and nutritional status in hospitalized children with functional limitations.

Introducción: El peso y la talla son datos esenciales para la valoración del crecimiento y estado nutricional en pediatría. La determinación por método directo resulta difícil en pacientes hospitalizados. El objetivo fue analizar la correlación entre el peso y la circunferencia media de brazo (CMB), y entre la talla y la altura talón rodilla (ATR) de niños y adolescentes para su uso en la valoración nutricional y de crecimiento en niños y adolescentes hospitalizados.Población y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal. Se incluyeron, niños, niñas y adolescentes de ambos sexos de 2 y 19 años. Para establecer la correlación se calculó el coeficiente de correlación r y de determinación R2 con una significación de p<0,05, graficando la correlación. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizó el software MedCalc V12.5.0.0.Resultados: Se recolectaron datos de 861 sujetos. 484 femeninos (56.2% IC95%52,8-59,5), y 377 masculinos (43.8% IC95%40,4-47,2) con edades entre 2 y 19 años. Se obtuvo una correlación entre la ATR y la talla de r=0.98 para ambos sexos, (R2=0.96 mujeres y R2=0.97 en varones), p<0.001. La CMB demostró una correlación con el peso de r=0.92 (R2=0.76) en varones y de r=0.87 (R2=0.85) en mujeres, ambas con p<0.001.Conclusiones: Los segmentos corporales ATR y CMB presentan una alta correlación con la talla y peso, respectivamente. Es por esto que proponemos utilizar los mismos para la valoración del crecimiento y estado nutricional en niños hospitalizados con limitaciones funcionales. Universidad Nacional Córdoba.
