利用1982-1983年（n = 816）和1999-2002年（n = 1187）两项调查调查了印度加尔各答学龄男孩随时间的生长变化。这两项调查是根据高度相似的方案实施的，这大大增加了研究结果的可靠性和准确性。在这20年里，年龄特异性平均身高、体重和BMI都有所增加（分别增加了3.2 cm、6.1 kg和2.1 kg/m），而相对坐高和坐高-坐骨下腿长比在7.0至16.0岁之间几乎所有年龄段都有所下降。发育迟滞率和消瘦率下降（发育迟滞率从11.2%降至4.9%,p < 0.01，消瘦率从50.5%降至22%，p < 0.01），而超重率上升（从4.7%降至17.2%,p < 0.01）。通过方差分析，分析了各种社会经济因素与人体特征之间的关系。与人体测量特征积极变化密切相关的因素是母亲教育和家庭支出。(C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
Growth changes over time among school-aged boys in Kolkata, India, have been investigated using two surveys: 1982-1983 (n = 816) and 1999-2002 (n = 1187). The two surveys were implemented according to highly similar protocols which strongly adds to the reliability and accuracy of the results of the study. Age-specific average height, weight and BMI all increased during these two decades (by respectively, 3.2 cm, 6.1 kg and 2.1 kg/m(2)), while relative sitting height and sitting height-subischial leg length ratio decreased for almost all ages between 7.0 and 16.0 years. Moreover, the prevalence of stunting and thinness declined (stunting from 11.2% to 4.9%, p < 0.01, thinness from 50.5% to 22%, p < 0.01), while the prevalence of overweight increased (from 4.7% to 17.2%, p < 0.01). Through analysis of variance, the relationships between various socio-economic factors and anthropometric traits are analyzed. Factors strongly related with positive changes in anthropometric traits are maternal education and family expenditure. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
