Context Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) is a controversial evaluation index of cardiovascular
risk factors (CVRFs) in children and adolescents. Objective To assess the accuracy of WHtR …

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 …

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 …

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) …

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 …

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 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 …

Adolescent obesity has increased to alarming proportions globally. However, few studies
have investigated the optimal waist circumference (WC) of Asian adolescents. This study …

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

INTRODUCTION: To compare the ability of Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference
(WC) and waist to height ratio (WHtR) to estimate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk levels …
