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 …

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 …

Background Evidence indicates that central adiposity has increased to a higher degree than
general adiposity in children and adolescents in recent decades. However, waist …

Objective. To identify the degree of association between anthropometric indices and
components of metabolic syndrome (MS) and to determine optimal cut‐off points of these …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The most common tools used to screen for abdominal obesity are waist circumference (WC)
and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR); the latter may represent a more suitable tool for the general …

Background Individuals with abdominal obesity have a higher cardiovascular risk,
regardless of the degree of global overweight. Objective To estimate the accuracy of the …

Background Adipokines and the myokine irisin, involved in mechanisms associated with
obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS), are understudied in the pediatric population …
