para identificar adolescentes colombianos con factores de riesgo cadiometabólicos (FRC) …

Results: Adiposity and cardiometabolic markers, particularly those related to glucose
metabolism increased from 4 years to 10 years. BAZ and WC were highly correlated to body …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the utility of waist/height ratio (WHtR) in
the specification of cardiometabolic risk in children already stratified by body mass index …

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 …

Background: Several investigators have concluded that the waist-to-height ratio is more
strongly associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors than is the body mass index …

Background: Body-mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and, recently, waist-to-
height ratio (WHtR) have been proposed as clinical indexes to identify children at …

Background: Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) has been recommended as a tool for predicting
cardiovascular risk in children. However, there is little evidence about the accuracy of using …

Objective: The accumulation of abdominal fat is associated with cardiometabolic
abnormalities. Waist circumference (WC) measurements allow an indirect evaluation of …
