6～12岁儿童矮小症现状调查及影响因素探讨OA

Objective To investigate the current status of short stature among children aged 6-12 years,and analyze its associated factors.Methods A questionnaire was designed from September 2024 to February 2025,and a survey was conducted among the guardians of 16 982 children aged 6-12 years in some counties and districts of Xingtai City to evaluate the occurrence of short stature.The children were divided into short stature group and the non-short stature group.General data were compared between the two groups.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to explore the associated factors of the short stature,and the possible causes of short stature in affected children were statistically analyzed.Results In this study,the prevalence of short stature among children was 3.94%.The prevalence of short stature among children aged 6-12 years decreased with increasing age and was higher in boys than in girls.Small for gestational age(OR=1.693,95%CI:1.402-2.017),male primary guardian(OR=1.414,95%CI:1.102-1.975),family history of short stature(OR=5.039,95%CI:3.744-5.547),stepfamily/reconstituted family(OR=1.704,95%CI:1.286-2.253),picky eating(OR=1.692,95%CI:1.225-2.136),average daily milk intake(OR=0.915,95%CI:0.834-0.978),average daily exercise time(OR=0.863,95%CI:0.820-0.914),and average daily sleep duration(OR=0.853,95%CI:0.786-0.942)were all associated factors for short stature(P<0.05).Familial short stature,idiopathic short stature,and delayed puberty were associated with short stature,accounting for 28.70%,27.35%,and 18.09%,respectively.Conclusion The prevalence of short stature in children aged 6-12 years was relatively high,and is associated with small for gestational age,male primary guardian,family history of short stature,reconstituted family,picky eating,average daily milk intake,average daily exercise time,and average daily sleep duration.Furthermore,familial short stature,idiopathic short stature,and delayed puberty are also associated with short stature.
