| Abstract |
To develop specific charts for body mass index (BMI-for-age) for Brazilian individuals with Down syndrome (DS). The secondary objective was to compare the BMI-for-age values with the standards set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A retrospective and cross-sectional growth study of 706 youth with DS (56.7% males) was performed in 51 centers in São Paulo state, Brazil. Data on weight and height were used to calculate the BMI (kg/m(2)). The LMS method was applied to construct the growth charts. Z-scores were based on the CDC 2000 growth standards. The BMI-for-age reference charts showed excellent adjustment statistical for boys and girls with DS aged 2-18 years. At 2 years of age, the mean BMI Z-scores of boys and girls with DS were lower compared to those of the CDC (Z-score=-0.2). In contrast, children with DS had higher mean Z-scores for BMI-for-age from 3 to 18 years when compared to those of the CDC (Z-scores=+0.2 to +1.3). Young Brazilian individuals with DS have different development standards for BMI when compared to those of the CDC. These are the first Brazilian BMI-for-age charts for young individuals with DS and will hopefully guide clinicians and parents in the evaluation and management of the nutritional status in children and adolescents with DS in Brazil. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 July 2016.
All research outputs
#20,657,128
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Jornal de Pediatria
#644
of 896 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#283,409
of 367,294 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Jornal de Pediatria
#13
of 19 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 896 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.6. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 367,294 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 19 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
