Introduction Waist circumference-to-height ratio (WHtR) is a simple anthropometric index
with good screening power and fast interpretation for early detection of childhood abdominal …

This study aims to compare the performance of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference
(WC), and waist-to-height-ratio (WHtR) to predict the presence of at least 3 main CV risk …

Objective To investigate the performance of weight/height n in discriminating obesity-related
cardio-metabolic risks, and compare their performance with BMI in Chinese and American …

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of Waist-to-Height Ratio in early
detection of obesity and metabolic syndrome in Chinese children and adolescents. Method …

Objectives To explore the optimal threshold values of waist circumference (WC) for detecting
cardiovascular (CV) risk factors among Chinese children and adolescents. Methods …

Background: Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) correlate with
cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in childhood which track into adulthood. WC provides a …

A constant plea from clinicians is for simplicity in any guidance, particularly when it is for a
quick, simple, primary screening tool. The natural instinct of scientific researchers is to …

Objective To examine the utility of Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist-to-Height-Ratio (WHtR) and
cardiorespiratory fitness thresholds to identify cardiometabolic risk in youth. Methods Cross …

Context: The predictive value of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and
waist-to-height ratio (WtHR) to define cardiometabolic risk is unclear in childhood obesity …

Background Recent studies have shown the enhanced diagnostic capability of the waist-to-
height ratio (WHtR) over BMI. However, while a structured cutoff hierarchy has been …
