Objective To measure the levels of waist circumference, hip circumference and waist-to-hip ratio of children aged 3-6 years in Nanjing, and to analyze the correlation among these indexes and anthropometric parameters. Methods A total of 4 300 children aged 3-6 years were enrolled by using stratified random cluster sampling method, and the waist circumference and hip circumference were measured. Results Both the waist circumference and the hip circumference of boys and girls increased with the age growth, while the waist-hip ratio decreased with the age growth. The average waist circumference of boys was 49.4~54.5 cm and girls was 47.5~53.2 cm; The average hip circumference of boys was 53.3~62.5 cm and girls 53.0~60.9 cm; The average waist-hip ratio of boys was 0.87~0.96 cm and girls 0.87~0.90 cm.The waist circumference, hip circumference and waist-to-hip ratio of children were significantly different among different age and gender groups(P＜0.05).The waist circumference was positively correlated with body weight, height and BMI, so was hip circumference.The waist-to-hip ratio decreased with age, and was negatively correlated with height and hip circumference. Conclusions The waist circumference and hip circumference of children aged 3-6 years in Nanjing are different in different age and gender groups.Waist circumference, hip circumference and waist-to-hip ratio of children are related to body weight, height and BMI.
