Abstract
6 449 schoolchildren aged 6 to 18 years living in various parts of Saint-Petersburg were examined with the purpose to study the physical development of children. To assess the level of growth processes international normative Z-score scales for the length of the body (WHO Growth Reference 2007) were used.
The majority (65.4%) of the surveyed children and adolescents revealed the average physical development. The number of schoolchildren whose length of body exceeds the average value was higher (26.1 per cent) than the number of schoolchildren with below-average growth (8.5 percent; p < 0.001). High rates of body length in boys were more common (7%) than among girls (4,5%; p = 0.001). Frequency of short stature in girls was higher (1.2%) than in boys (0.7 percent; p = 0.03). Age-specific analysis showed that the average body length at the age of 12 was more common in boys, at an older age in girls. The lowest average level of physical development in boys is at the age of pubertal growth leap (12–15). In girls the highest rate of the number of teenagers with the average level of physical development is among high school girls (16–18) on achievement of the definitive body size. In all groups a shift in the distribution of the variants differing from the average level of physical development in the direction of the higher body length is observed. The obtained results indicate the need for the in-depth analysis of the factors that cause deviations in physical development with subsequent development and implementation of preventive measures.
