Waist-to-Height Ratio as a predictor of cardiovascular and metabolic health in a pediatric population. [PDF]

PLoS One
Background Understanding the relationship between central adiposity and health outcomes in children is crucial for early prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) has emerged as a key anthropometric measure for predicting cardiovascular and metabolic health risks.

Waist-to-Height Ratio Associated Cardiometabolic Risk Phenotype in Children with Overweight/Obesity

BMC Public Health, 2022
Abstract Background Higher childhood overweight/obesity has been associated with an elevated risk of insulin resistance and cardiometabolic disorders. Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) may be a simple screening tool to identify children at risk for cardiometabolic associated obesity.
