New diagnostic criteria for obesity and overweight in Korean children and adolescents using 2007 Korean National Growth Charts
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryThe diagnostic criteria (KCDC Criteria) to define obesity and overweight of Korean children and adolescents were newly presented in the 2007 Korean National Growth Charts. The KCDC Criteria were criticized for several problems caused by upward shift of body mass index (BMI) percentile curves of the growth charts. This study was conducted to establish new diagnostic criteria (New Criteria) for obesity and overweight in Korean children and adolescents that would be less affected by a change of BMI distribution in the reference population of the Growth Charts. The BMI values for ages 2–18 years corresponding to Asia-Pacific adult BMI cutoffs of obesity (25.0 kg/m2) and overweight (23.0 kg/m2) were calculated with L, M and S values presented in the 2007 Korean National Growth Charts. Additionally, we examined the frequencies of obesity and overweight among children and adolescents who participated in the 2005 National Growth Survey based on both New Criteria and KCDC Criteria. The Z-scores corresponding to BMIs of 25 and 23 kg/m2 at 18-years-of-age were 0.99 and 0.41 in boys, and 1.34 and 0.71 in girls, respectively. The BMI values corresponding to these Z-scores from age 2 to 18 years were determined as new BMI cutoffs for obesity and overweight. The frequencies of obesity and overweight estimated by New Criteria were greater by 2 times in boys and 1.5 times in girls than those by KCDC Criteria. We suggest that New Criteria could be a good alternative that can resolve problems caused by upward shift of BMI percentile curves of the 2007 Korean National Growth Charts.
