Abstract

ObjectivesTo evaluate the ability of BMI, WC, and WHtR to identify increased cardiometabolic risk in pre-adolescents.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study involving 192 children (10.92 ± 0.58 years, 56% female) from the United Kingdom between 2010 and 2013. Receiver operating characteristic curves...
