Relation of isolated XXXX with body mass index.

@entity1184 @entity1
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between @entity1184 and body mass index (BMI). MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study which was conducted in three primary schools located in Duzce. A total of 1,282 @entity1 between 7 and 12 years of age were evaluated and the size of their tonsils was investigated with regard to height and weight. This study was performed in the course of school screening, and the correlation between estimated tonsil size and BMIs of the @entity1 was investigated. RESULTS: Sixteen of 1,282 students were excluded from the study, leaving 1,266 @entity1 in the study. The mean (+/-SD) age of the @entity1 was 9.13 +/- 1.45 (range 7-12) years. The mean height of the 1,266 @entity1 was 129.07 +/- 9.95 (range 105-163) cm, the mean weight was 28.81 +/- 6.96 (range 15-68) kg, and the mean BMI was 17.09 +/- 2.33 (range 12.07-30.0) kg/m(2). There was no statistically significant effect of tonsil size on BMI. We could not find a significant relation of isolated @entity1184 with BMI. CONCLUSIONS: No relation could be found between @entity1184 and BMI.
