Background Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) has been proposed as a simple and effective
screening tool for assessing central obesity and cardiometabolic risk in both adult and …

The present systematic review with meta‐analysis sought to estimate the accuracy of
different waist‐to‐height ratio (WHtR) cutoff ranges as risk indicators for cardiometabolic …

Aim We evaluated how effectively the waist‐to‐height ratio (WH tR) identified
cardiometabolic risk (CMR) in children and adolescents, compared with the tri‐ponderal …

Objectives To demonstrate the accuracy and flexibility of using waist-to-height ratio (WHtR)
as a screening tool for identifying children and adolescents with cardiometabolic risk (CMR) …

The waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), calculated by dividing the waist circumference (WC) by
height, has recently gained attention as an anthropometric index for central adiposity. It is an …

Summary Background & Aims Only limited information is available on the usefulness of the
waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) as an abdominal obesity marker in children. Our aim was to …

Waist‐to‐height ratio (WHtR) is superior to body mass index and waist circumference for
measuring adult cardio‐metabolic risk factors. However, there is no meta‐analysis to …

What is already known about this subject In adults, associations between body mass index
(BMI), waist‐to‐height ratio (WHtR) and cardiometabolic outcomes are similar. In children …

This study was performed to evaluate the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) distribution and
assess its relationship with cardiometabolic risk in children and adolescents. A total of 8091 …

Objective To provide the latest evidence of performance and robustness of waist-to-height
ratio (WHtR) in discriminating clusters of cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRs) and promote …
