Abstract

Objectives: Studying the anthropometric and nutritional status of adolescents in stages of puberty. Methods: A cross-sectional study on 1280 adolescents enrolled in secondary schools in the town of Cu Chi during the school year 2012-2013. Results: Percentage of overweight-obesity adolescents were 33% (including 22 % obese and 11 % overweight), in which, percentage of overweight-obesity in boys were higher than that of girls (40.7% compared to 25%; p<0.05). Percentage of underweight students was recorded at 4.1% (5.2 % in boys, higher than 2.9 % in girls; p<0.05). Difference of average height between the onset and the end of puberty were 24.1 cm in boys and 16.1cm in girls. Difference of average weight between the onset and the end of puberty were 18.5 kg in boys and 17.7 kg in girls. Average body fat percentage (BFP) of overweight-obesity boys and girls were higher than adolescents with normal nutritional status, but BFP of overweight-obesity ones remained constant at the same level from beginning to the end of pubertal time. There were no differences on the average fat-free mass between different nutritional status groups. Conclusions: At the Cu Chi secondary school, the percentage of overweight-obesity adolescents was higher than that of underweight adolescents, with higher percentage in boys than in girls in both of these malnutrition status groups. Total pubertal height gain was 24.1 cm in boys and 16.1 cm in girls. Puberty did not increase the chances for overweight-obesity in adolescents.
