Özet:

 


Population-based growth studies are important to
demonstrate social, cultural, and medical milieu of the societies. The fact that
there is no nationwide head circumference growth references of Turkish children
is a significant deficiency. In this study, we aimed to create head growth
references for 0-3-year-old children living in good conditions in Turkey.
Within this scope, a total of 2061 infants and children with 1029 being boys
and 1032 girls were examined in seven metropolitan city (Istanbul, Ankara,
İzmir, Adana, Samsun, Diyarbakır, and Erzurum) in Turkey. LMS method was used
to create percentile curves. According to the data obtained, it can be said
that children of our country who grow in optimal and/or sub-optimal conditions
have somewhat larger head circumference compared to their peers from the USA,
but the difference is relatively low. Great similarity between the results of
this study, which was conducted as multicenter, and previous reference studies
performed in Istanbul is remarkable.
