| Abstract: | Objectives: Changes in the level of fatness and fat distribution in children and adolescents at the beginning of the 21st century are an important multifaceted problem. The study aimed to assess the changes in the skinfold thickness and fat distribution in children and adolescents aged 8-18 from Kraków, Poland. Methods: The study group (8500 girls and boys) consisted of the results of three cross-sectional studies (2000, 2010, 2020). It was divided according to sex and age. Analyzed parameters included five skinfolds, their sum, limbs-to-trunk, and trunk adiposity indicators. Results: In both sexes, the triceps skinfold decreased, while the subscapular skinfold increased in most age groups. The abdominal skinfold increased, but in girls only in younger groups. The suprailiac and calf skinfold changes varied, depending on sex and age. The sum of skinfolds increased in boys, but in older girls, it had a negative trend. The trunk adiposity index had a negative trend only in younger girls, while the limbs-to-trunk adiposity index increased across all ages, the same as in boys. Conclusion: There was a trend toward central fat allocation, despite a decrease in skinfold thickness in some groups. This is concerning as central adiposity is associated with an increased health risk. There were also differences between sexes-perhaps girls more often control their body weight and boys exhibit less favorable dietary habits. (© 2025 Wiley Periodicals LLC.) |
