标题:Evolution of the main growth and development parameters in teenagers from the Chisinau district (Republic of Moldova), versus the evolution of teenagers from the districts of Bacau, Neamt, Suceava and Timis (Romania)
摘要:The study analyzes the evolution of
the main growing and development parameters (stature and weight), along the
10-16 years interval of age, in the teenagers of the Chişinău district (Republic
of Moldova), comparatively with the teenagers of the same chronological ages
from the Bacău, Neamţ, Suceava and Timiş (Romania) districts. In the
pre-pubertal stage (10-13 years), both the girls and the boys from the Chisinau
city evidence average values of stature and weight higher than the other groups
while, in the post-pubertal period, the situation is
wholly reversed, the series under study appearing inferior in both it stature
and weight, comparatively with the other 4 series (the cities of Bacău, Piatra
Neamţ, Suceava and Timişoara). In the rural medium, as to stature, the situation
is similar with that of the girls from the urban group, while, in the case of
boys, a clear-cut superiority is evidenced in the villages of the Chişinău
district, over the whole interval under study, versus their colleagues
from the other series. Referring to bodily weight, over the 10-16 years
interval, the teenagers (both boys and girls) from the rural area of Chişinău
evidence higher average values than their colleagues from the comparative
groups, the differences recorded being significant for all classes of
age.
