背景：在一个国家内，社会条件随着时间的推移而变化，这些条件因国而异。这些条件之间的关联，躯体生长，体力活动和健身反映了这些changes.Aim：该研究记录了与社会经济地位（SES）相关的躯体生长，体力活动和健身的变化。该研究涉及507名受试者（256名男孩和251名女孩）来自马德拉生长研究，这是一项五个队列的混合纵向研究（8、10、12、14和16岁），每年随访一次，为期3年（1996-1998年）。共收到1493条评论。人体测量包括长度、体重、骨骼宽度、围度和皮褶厚度。通过问卷调查和访谈收集身体活动和SES。使用Eurofit测试组合评估身体健康。SES（高，中，低）的躯体生长，体力活动和身体素质的变化进行了方差分析analysis.Results：SES组之间的身高，体质量和皮褶厚度的显着差异。来自高SES组的男孩和女孩比来自平均和低SES组的同龄人更高，更重，更胖（肩胛下和三头肌皮褶）。在某些年龄段，高社会经济地位组有较大的骨骼宽度（女孩）和周长（男孩和女孩）比低社会经济地位。小SES差异观察到的身体活动（运动和休闲时间指数）。SES与身体素质显著相关。在某些年龄水平，男孩从低SES组表现更好的肌肉和有氧耐力，而女孩从高SES组表现更好的power.Conclusion：相当大的变化与SES的躯体生长和身体素质，但很少有关联被发现为体力活动。
Background: Within a country social conditions change over time and these conditions vary from country to country. The associations between these conditions, somatic growth, physical activity and fitness reflect these changes.Aim: The study documented variation in somatic growth, physical activity and fitness associated with socio-economic status (SES).Subjects and methods: The study involved 507 subjects (256 boys and 251 girls) from the Madeira Growth Study, a mixed longitudinal study of five cohorts (8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 years of age) followed at yearly intervals over 3 years (1996-1998). A total of 1493 observations were made. Anthropometric measurements included lengths, body mass, skeletal breadths, girths and skinfolds. Physical activity and SES were collected via questionnaire and interview. Physical fitness was assessed using the Eurofit test battery. Variation in somatic growth, physical activity and physical fitness by SES (high, average and low) was tested with analysis of variance.Results: Significant differences between SES groups were observed for height, body mass and skinfolds. Boys and girls from high SES groups were taller, heavier and fatter (subscapular and triceps skinfolds) than their peers from average and low SES groups. At some age intervals, the high SES group had larger skeletal breadths (girls) and girths (boys and girls) than low SES. Small SES differences were observed for physical activity (sport and leisure-time indices). SES was significantly associated with physical fitness. At some age levels, boys from the low SES group performed better for muscular and aerobic endurance whereas girls from the high SES group performed better for power.Conclusion: Considerable variation in somatic growth and physical fitness in association with SES has been demonstrated, but little association was found for physical activity.
