Background: In 2011, WHO growth curves replaced those of Prader and colleagues (First Zurich longitudinal study) in Switzerland.Aim: To present contemporary height-, weight- and body mass index (BMI)-for-age references reflecting children's growth in modern Switzerland.Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional sample comprising 30,141 boys and girls aged 0-20 years measured between 2012 and 2019. Height, weight and BMI reference curves were created using the LMS method. Derived percentiles were compared with those of Prader, WHO and neighbouring countries.Results: Growth in the first 5 years is almost identical with Prader curves. Thereafter children are taller, yet their final height is only about 1 cm higher. Today's children, in particular boys, are considerably heavier. In comparison with WHO growth references, Swiss children are taller from the second year until adulthood; the WHO 3rd percentiles lie about 4 cm below those of our updated references. Weight and BMI median percentiles from our sample are similar to those of WHO and higher than the Prader curves. However, the course of the 97th BMI percentile WHO curves extends well below the 97th percentile of the updated Swiss curves.Conclusion: This study provides contemporary reference data for assessing individual growth based on height, weight and BMI of Swiss children.

与普拉德参考文献，世卫组织和邻国相比，瑞士0岁至成年儿童的当代身高，体重和体重指数参考。

背景：2011年，世卫组织的增长曲线取代了瑞士的Prader及其同事（苏黎世的第一项纵向研究）目的：介绍反映儿童在现代中的成长情况的当代年龄，体重和体重指数（BMI）瑞士。受试者与方法：横断面样本包括2012年至2019年之间测量的30,141名0-20岁男孩和女孩。身高，体重和BMI参考曲线是使用LMS方法绘制的。将派生百分位数与Prader，WHO和邻国的百分位数进行比较。结果：前5年的增长率与Prader曲线几乎相同。此后，孩子们更高一些，但最终的身高仅高出约1厘米。今天的孩子，特别是男孩，体重较重。与世卫组织增长参考相比，从第二年到成年，瑞士儿童的身高更高；WHO第3个百分位比我们最新参考文献的百分位低约4厘米。我们样本中的体重和BMI中位数百分位数与WHO相似，并且高于Prader曲线。然而，WHO曲线的第97个BMI百分率的过程远低于更新后的瑞士曲线的第97个百分位数。结论：本研究为根据瑞士儿童的身高，体重和BMI评估个体成长提供了当代参考数据。
