概括
中上臂周长 (MUAC) 在识别营养不良儿童方面取得了有限的成功,显示出低灵敏度. 然而,MUAC查对于识别健康儿童是有效的,具有良好的特异性.
科学领域:
- 儿童营养学 儿童营养学
- 人类测量学 人类测量学.
- 公共卫生查 公共卫生查
背景情况:
- 上臂周长 (MUAC) 是一种简单的人类测量方法,用于评估肌肉和脂肪储量.
- MUAC查提供了诸如简单的设备,便携性和最小的培训要求等优势,使其适合现场使用.
- 在印度营养计划中,MUAC被广泛采用,用于评估儿童营养不良.
研究的目的:
- 为了比较儿童的人类参数.
- 验证MUAC对查营养不良儿童的有用性和局限性.
主要方法:
- 人类测量测量 (体重,身高,MUAC) 根据世卫组织的指导方针,从阿南瓦迪中心的儿童那里收集.
- 数据分析使用了Anthro软件 (3.2.2版本).
- 为了确定MUAC的灵敏度和特异性, MUAC磁带分类和重量对高度Z分数 (WHZ) 进行了比较.
主要成果:

Midrange
3.6K
A somewhat easy to compute quantitative estimate of a data set’s central tendency is its midrange, which is defined as the mean of the minimum and maximum values of an ordered data set.
Simply put, the midrange is half of the data set’s range. Similar to the mean, the midrange is sensitive to the extreme values and hence the prospective outliers. However, unlike the mean, the midrange is not sensitive to all the values of the data set that lie in the middle. Thus, it is prone to...

Temperature Measurement Sites
1.6K
A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...
