背景生长参考值在儿科保健中作为一个健康指标是有用的。年龄值的身高长期变化也会影响青春期的时间和脑重量。不同的人群可能处于这一长期趋势的不同阶段。因此，有必要定期更新每个人口的增长参考值，以确定这些变化。本研究的目的是更新土耳其婴儿和幼儿的生长参考值。方法背景信息和身高/长度，体重和头围测量样本的2391名男孩和2102名女孩，以及儿童诊所记录。最小均方误差（LMS）方法用于分析。4个月时纯母乳喂养的比例为62%，6个月时为26.6%。12个月时母乳喂养的持续率为62.5%。结果与以往土耳其数据相比，5岁时男孩身高增加0.9 cm，女孩身高增加1.1 cm。女孩的体重增加了0.220公斤，而男孩则减少了0.160公斤。与2000年美国和瑞典的值比较表明，人口差异可能存在于青春期前years.Conclusion这项研究提供了一个增强的工具，以评估土耳其婴儿和幼儿的生长。
Background Growth reference values are useful in paediatric health care as a health indicator. Secular changes in height for age values are also known to affect the timing of puberty and brain weight. Different populations may be at different stages of this secular trend. It is, therefore, necessary to periodically update the growth reference values for each population to identify these changes. The aim of this study was to update the growth reference values for Turkish infants and young children.Methods Background information and height/length, weight and head circumference measurements on a sample of 2391 boys and 2102 girls were obtained from Well Child Clinic Records. The LMS method was used for the analyses. The percentage of exclusive breastfeeding was 62% at 4 months and 26.6% at 6 months. The continuation rate of breastfeeding at 12 months was 62.5%.Results Comparison with previous Turkish data showed an increase in height of 0.9 cm for boys and 1.1 cm for girls at age 5 years. The increase in weight was 0.220 kg in girls, while a decrease of 0.160 kg was noted in boys. Comparison with the 2000 US and Swedish values indicated that population differences may exist in pre-pubertal years.Conclusion This study provides an enhanced instrument to evaluate the growth of Turkish infants and young children.
