目的：评估肥胖、超重和体重不足的频率设计：测量身高和体重，并在随机选择的7 - 9岁波兰儿童的代表性样本中计算BMI。（N = 2916; 1445名女孩; 1471名男孩），以确定他们的营养状况。超重（包括肥胖）是根据四和体重不足估计的根据波兰国家参考文献、法国参考文献、美国参考文献和国际肥胖工作组参考文献三个定义（瘦）。（包括肥胖）分别为12.1%、14.3%、20.7%和15.4%;根据国家、美国和IOTF参考资料，分别有3.5%、9.4%和3.6%的儿童肥胖，而体重不足根据波兰、法国和美国的参考文献，分别有6.9%、2.6%和4.2%的儿童存在（消瘦）。通过年龄classes.Conclusion：波兰7-9岁儿童的体重不足（瘦），超重和肥胖的比率计算根据国家，法国，美国和IOTF参考减少超重和增加体重不足的趋势是显着不同的。因此，即使IOTF参考被认为是国际流行病学研究的上级参考，人群特异性标准也可能在临床实践中共存。
Objective: To assess the frequency of obesity, overweight and underweight (thinness) in Polish 7-9-year-old children using a population specific definition as compared to the French, US and IOTF references based on body mass index (BMI).Design: Height and weight were measured and BMI was calculated in a randomly selected representative sample of 7-9-year-old Polish children (N = 2916; 1445 girls; 1471 boys) to define their nutritional status. Overweight (including obesity) was estimated according to four and underweight (thinness) according to three definitions Polish national references; French references; United States references and International Obesity Task Force references.Results: According to Polish, French, U.S. and IOTF references overweight (including obesity) was found in 12.1, 14.3, 20.7 and 15.4% of children, respectively; 3.5, 9.4 and 3.6% of children were obese according to national, U.S. and IOTF references, respectively while underweight (thinness) was present in 6.9, 2.6 and 4.2% of children according to Polish, French and U.S. references, respectively. A trend of decreasing overweight and increasing underweight through age classes was observed.Conclusion: The rates of underweight (thinness), overweight and obesity in Polish 7-9-year-old children calculated according to the national, French, U.S. and IOTF references were significantly different. Therefore even if the IOTF reference is considered superior for international epidemiological studies, population specific standards should probably coexist for clinical practice.
