Gender differences in waist circumference in Nigerian childrenToriola, AL, Goon, DT, Shaw, BS, Shaw, I, Arogbonlo, S, Wuam, S 01 March 2009 (has links)
The aim of this study was to develop age and
sex specific reference values for waist
circumference (WC) based on a sample of 2015
primary school children (i.e. 979 boys and 1036
girls aged 9 12 years) who were randomly
selected from 19 primary schools in Makurdi,
Benue State of Nigeria. Waist and hip
circumferences were measured wi th a flexible
anthropometric tape according to the protocol of
the International Society for the Advancement of
Kinanthropometry (ISAK). Mean WC was higher
in girls than in boys, and these differences were
statistically signi ficant from age 10 onwards.
Similarly, hip circumference was significantly
higher (p<0.05) in girls than in boys at all ages.
Whereas waist and hip circumferences increased
with age in both sexes, the increase was relatively
greater for hip circumference. Generally, waist
related percentiles values increased wi th age in
boys and girls, but girls had higher values than
boys in most of the age specific percentiles. WC
showed significantly higher (p <0.0001) values in
girls than in boys at ages 10 12 years, and this
increased with age in both categories. The
reference data obtained in this study can be used
to identify children with high risk of developing
obesity related disorders and form the basis for
future research studies.

Sex differences in anthropometric characteristics of Nigerian school children aged 9-12 yearsGoon DT, Toriola AL, Shaw,BS, Amusa LO, Musa DI 06 1900 (has links)
The aim of this study was to assess the
anthropometric and body composition profiles of Nigerian school children. A cross-sectional study was carried out involving 1036 girls and 979 boys
aged 9-12 years. Anthropometric measurements, including body mass, stature, triceps, subscapular
and medial calf skinfold thickness, as well as waist and hip circumferences were measured on the children. Body mass index (BMI), percent body fat,
fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and subscapular/triceps skinfold ratio
(STR) were also calculated. Sexual dimorphism that appears to be related to differential changes in body
composition in the older children was observed.
Findings showed that the Nigerian children have a low level of adiposity whether assessed by BMI,
skinfold or percent body fat, compared to their peers in developed countries. The health implications of the findings were discussed.
