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 …

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 …

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 …

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

Objective To assess whether waist-to-height-ratio (WHtR) is a better estimate of body fat
percentage (BF%) and a better indicator of cardiometabolic risk factors than BMI or waist …

Background Childhood obesity is a public health problem worldwide. Visceral obesity,
particularly associated with cardio-metabolic risk, has been assessed by body mass index …

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 …

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 …

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 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 …
