摘要: Objective To determine optimal threshold values for body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) detecting cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk (as defined with ≥3 CVD factors [RFs]) in adolescents. Study design The 1999-2004 National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) cross-sectional data 12- to 19-year-old adolescents (n = 2581) was analyzed. Main outcome measures were age-adjusted RFs (high- low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, triglyceride glucose insulin systolic diastolic blood pressure). presence of predicted from age- sex-adjusted BMI WC receiver operating characteristics analyses. Results proportion at ranged 17% 19%. Both had good diagnostic accuracy, ranging 0.73 0.83, sensitivity specificity, 0.68 0.77. cutoff points 19.5 25.0 kg/m 2 boys 19.4 27.0 girls, 66.8 87.5 cm 71.5 87.2 girls. Conclusions Age-, sex-, ethnicity/race-specific may have significant clinical usefulness identifying teenagers later onset.
