Waist circumference percentile thresholds for identifying adolescents with insulin resistance in clinical practice.
We formally evaluated waist circumference (WC) percentile cutoffs for predicting insulin resistance (IR) and whether different cutoffs should be used for adolescents of different race/ethnicities. Analysis was performed for 1575 adolescents aged 12-18 yr from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2002. Adolescents were classified as having IR if they had a homeostasis model ...
متن کاملWaist circumference percentile criteria for the pediatric metabolic syndrome in Korean adolescents.
This study aimed to determine valid waist circumference (WC) thresholds using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for pediatric metabolic syndrome (MS) prediction and to compare validities between the thresholds derived from ROC curves and the WC cut-offs defined by International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Four hundred and sixty four males and 415 females, 10-18 years, who participat...
متن کاملUse of waist circumference to predict insulin resistance: retrospective study.
We analysed a sample of 2746 healthy volunteers (798 male) from retrospectively collected data. Ages ranged from 18 years to 72 years, body mass index (kg/m) from 18 to 60, and waist circumferences from 65 cm to 150 cm (see table A on bmj.com for further data). We determined height, weight, waist circumference (midway between the lateral lower ribs and the iliac crest), and hip circumference. R...

متن کاملLower waist circumference in mildly-stunted adolescents is associated with elevated insulin concentration.
OBJECTIVE Augmented waist circumference (WC) is associated with non-communicable diseases and could represent a valuable marker in screening for metabolic dysfunctions in subjects with insufficient linear growth. The objective of the present study was to determine whether biochemical and hemodynamic parameters and waist circumference vary between mildly-stunted and non-stunted adolescents from ...
