Vücut kitle indeksi, testis hacmi, penis uzunluğu: Adölesan dönemi öncesi çocuklarda genel durumun yeniden gözden geçirilmesi

AMAÇ: Çalışmamızın amacı puberte öncesi çocuklarda yaşa göre penis boyu ve testis hacmi için referanslar elde etmek ve bu ölçümün puberte öncesi çocuklarda penis ve testis ölçümü açısından var olan standardizasyonlara katkı sağlamaktır. Ayrıca çocuklarda penis boyu ve testis hacminin çocuğun boyu, kilosu ve vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) arasında ilişki olup olmadığını araştırmayı hedefledik. GEREÇ ve YÖNTEMLER: Kliniğimize başvuran 1201 çocuğun penis boyunu cetvelle ve testis hacmini ultrasonla ölçüp, bu değerleri çocu- ğun boyu, kilosu ve vücut kitle indeksi ile karşılaştırdık. Hastaların klinik bilgileri tıbbi kayıtları geriye dönük olarak incelenerek toplandı. Araştırma Kesitsel tipte bir çalışmadır. Tanımlayıcı istatistik olarak yüzde, ortalama ve standart sapma kullanılmıştır. Tek değişkenli analizlerde student t-testi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada SPSS 20.0 paket programı kullanılarak analizler yapılmıştır. BULGULAR: Araştırmaya katılanların ortalama yaşı 4,35±2,65 yıl, ortalama boy ölçümleri 104,23±22,61 cm, ortalama kilo ölçümleri 18,31±8,63 kg ve ortalama VKİ (vücut kitle indeksi) ölçümleri 16,06±2,64 kg/m²’dir. Yaş, boy, kilo ile VKİ değerleri arttıkça ortalama testis hacmi ve penis boyu artmaktadır (p

Body mass index, testicular volume, penile length: A review of the general situation in pre-adolescent children

OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study is to obtain references for penile length and testicular volume according to age in prepubertal children and to contribute to the standardization of this measurement in terms of penis and testis measurement in prepubertal children. In addition, we aimed to investigate whether there is a relationship between penile length and testicular volume in children, height, weight and body mass index (BMI). MATRERIAL and METHODS:We measured the penile length with a ruler and the testicular volume with ultrasound in 1201 children who applied to our clinic, and compared these values with the child’s height, weight and body mass index. The research is a cross-sectional study. Percentage, mean and standard deviation were used as descriptive statistics. Student t-test was used for univariate analyses. In the study, analyses were made using the SPSS 20.0 package program. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants in the study was 4.35±2.65 years, average height measurements were 104.23±22.61 cm, average weight measurements were 18.31±8.63 kg, and average BMI (body mass index) measurements were 16.06±2.64 kg/m². As age, height, weight and BMI values increase, mean testicular volume and penile length increase (p
