Abstract

Objective: Currently there is some debate on the presence of any relationship between short stature and Helicobacter pylori infection in children. Our study was conducted to verify whether Helicobacter pylori infection has any effect on height, weight and body mass index measurements in children. Material and Method: The study population included 45 Helicobacter pylori positive and 60 Helicobacter pylori negative healthy children without any chronic ailment between 5-15 years of age who applied to the out-patient clinic of Zonguldak Karaelmas University Hospital Department of Pediatrics between January and December 2003. Both of the groups were compared for age, sex, height, weight, body mass index. Chi-square, T test and Mann-Whitney U tests were used for comparison of the groups. Results: The study population consisted 61 boys (58.1%) and 44 girls (41.9%) in total with a mean age of 9.74±2.73 years. When both girls and boys were taken into account, there were no significant differences between two groups with respect to age, sex, height, weight and body mass index values. When H. pylori positive and negative boys were compared alone no significant differences with respect to height and weight existed, but body mass index was significantly higher in Helicobacter pylori negative boys. Conclusion: In our study we observed that Helicobacter pylori infection did not have any effect on height, weight and body mass index of children. Key Words:

Özet

Amaç: Günümüzde Helicobacter pylori enfeksiyonunun çocuklardaki boy kısalığı ile ilişkisi olup olmadığı konusunda tartışmalar mevcuttur. Çalışmamız Helicobacter pylori enfeksiyonunun çocuklarda boy, kilo ve vücut kitle indeksi ölçümleri üzerine etkisi olup olmadığını araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma grubu, Zonguldak Karaelmas Üniversitesi Hastanesi Çocuk Polikliniklerine Ocak -Aralık 2003 tarihleri arasında başvurup, 5-15 yaş grubundaki, sağlıklı, kronik hastalığı olmayan Helicobacter pylori pozitif 45 çocuk ve kontrol grubu Helicobacter pylori negatif 60 çocuktan oluşturuldu. Her iki grup, yaş, cinsiyet, boy, kilo ve vücut kitle indeksi değerleri açısından karşılaştırıldı. Gruplar arası karşılaştırmalarda Ki-kare, T test ve Mann-Whitney U testleri kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışma grubumuz yaş ortalamaları 9.74±2.73 yıl olan toplam 61 (%58.1) kız ve 44 (%41.9) erkek çocuktan oluşmuştu. Kız ve erkekler birlikte değerlendirildiğinde, H. pylori pozitif ve negatif gruplar arasında yaş, cinsiyet, boy, kilo ve vücut kitle indeksi değerleri açısından anlamlı fark yoktu. H. pylori pozitif ve negatif erkekler ayrı değerlendirildiğinde ise iki grup arasında boy ve kilo değerleri bakımından anlamlı fark yokken, vücut kitle indeksi değeri Helicobacter pylori negatif grupta anlamlı derecede yüksekti. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, Helicobacter pylori enfeksiyonunun çocuklarda boy, kilo ve vücut kitle indeksi değerleri üzerine etki etmediğini gözledik.
