Is waist-to-height ratio a useful indicator of cardio-metabolic risk in 6-10-year-old children?
BACKGROUND Childhood obesity is a public health problem worldwide. Visceral obesity, particularly associated with cardio-metabolic risk, has been assessed by body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference, but both methods use sex-and age-specific percentile tables and are influenced by sexual maturity. Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) is easier to obtain, does not involve tables and can be used to ...
متن کاملCardio-metabolic and socio-environmental correlates of waist-to-height ratio in German primary schoolchildren: a cross-sectional exploration
BACKGROUND Controversial messages of childhood obesity emerge: Levelling off in terms of body mass index (BMI) is foiled by increases in abdominal obesity. Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) may be used as a screening tool for abdominal obesity in children. The aim of this study was to investigate clinical and socio-environmental correlates of abdominal obesity in primary schoolchildren. METHODS Cr...
متن کاملAssociations between metabolic risk factors and body mass index, waist circumference, waist‐to‐height ratio and waist‐to‐hip ratio in a Chinese rural population
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Obesity plays a central role in metabolic syndrome. Obesity indexes are important in clinical work. In the present study, we sought to determine the relationships between obesity indexes and metabolic risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied 11,568 participants over 35 years. Body mass index, waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and waist-to-hip ratio...
متن کاملCan body mass index, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio and waist-height ratio predict the presence of multiple metabolic risk factors in Chinese subjects?
BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with metabolic risk factors. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-height ratio (WHtR) are used to predict the risk of obesity related diseases. However, it has not been examined whether these four indicators can detect the clustering of metabolic risk factors in Chinese subjects. METHODS There are 772 Chinese subjects in ...
