Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed physical growth trends in preschool children in China from 2000 to 2020 and made predictions for growth until 2030.
- Key findings showed significant increases in height, weight, and chest circumference over two decades, with anticipated gradual growth in the next decade.
- The research highlighted a concerning rise in obesity rates among preschoolers, linking it to China's economic growth and lifestyle changes, with a call for effective measures to address the obesity epidemic.
Background: We aimed to establish the cut-off value of weight-for-height for preschool children in China, and to explore the influence of overweight and obesity on the physical performance of preschool children.
Methods: Data from 31 provinces in China monitored in 2010 and 2014, the standard deviation unit curves of WFH were established by using GAMLSS (generalized additive model for location, scale, and shape) method preschool children in China, and then the cut-off values of normal weight, overweight and obesity were divided. The research group tested 5 physical performance indicators of 5154 preschool children from April 2018 to June 2019 in Beijing and Zhejiang in China.
In order to explore the application of artificial neural network in rehabilitation evaluation, a kind of ANN stable and reliable artificial intelligence algorithm is proposed. By learning the existing clinical gait data, this method extracted the gait characteristic parameters of patients with different ages, disease types and course of disease, and repeated data iteration and finally simulated the corresponding gait parameters of patients. Experiments showed that the trained ANN had the same score as the human for most of the data (82.

It is necessary to construct more scientific percentile curve and growth reference standards in order to evaluate more effectively the growth, development and health status of Chinese children.
Methods: Based on the physical and health data of 31 provinces in China measured in 2010 and 2014, the GAMLSS model was used to construct the growth reference standard and correlation curve.

September 2019
Background: We aimed to establish a reference standard of Body Mass Index (BMI) for the growth of preschool children in China.
Methods: We monitored and obtained the height and weight of 50702 children aged 3-6 yr in 31 provinces in mainland China in 2014. The reference standard and percentile curve of BMI preschool children aged 3-6 yr old were formulated by using Lambda-Median-Sigma (LMS) method in China.
