At baseline, the two groups had similar age, sex, height, weight, BMI, BMI-Z, waist circumference, and percent body fat.
Outcome measurements are assessed at 2, 12 and 24 months post-baseline and include: BMI z-score, waist z-score, metabolic profile indicators, physical activity, sedentary behaviour, eating patterns, and psychosocial well-being.
We also demonstrated that children's serum PBDE concentrations at age 7 years, specifically BDE-153 concentration, were negatively associated with concurrent BMI z-score, waist circumference z-score, and being overweight for both sexes combined.
Within-subject differences in anthropometric, psychosocial and activity measures preintervention and postintervention are shown in table 2. Significant reductions in BMI, BMI z-score, waist circumference, waist z-score and child total difficulties score (all p<0.0001) postintervention were noted.
Moreover, WHR Z Score, Waist C Z Score and/or WHtR showed an independent significant contribution according to these models.
Adiposity proxies (BMI z score, waist circumference-height ratio (WCHtR)) were regressed on height and also on tibia length z scores.
Youth with type 1 diabetes (Table 1) did not differ from controls regarding age, sex, BMI z score, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, or diastolic blood pressure.
The Ab+ patients had significantly lower BMI, BMI percentile, Z score, waist circumference, and visceral adipose tissue compared with their Ab− peers and the obese control subjects.
Multiple regression analysis revealed that hepatic triglyceride content was associated with the presence of metabolic syndrome (r = 0.57, P < 0.001), insulin sensitivity (r = 0.36, P = 0.04), and glucose AUC (r = 0.24, P = 0.02) after adjusting for age, sex, BMI z score, waist circumference z score, visceral fat, whole-body fat mass, fitness level, and NEFA AUC.
In a cross-sectional study, an oral glucose tolerance test and demographic (age, sex, family history of diabetes, and ethnicity), clinical (BMI z score, waist circumference, and pubertal stage), and laboratory variables used in current pediatric screening criteria for type 2 diabetes mellitus were measured in 259 overweight or obese youth aged 5 17 years.
For example at S-49, an increase in one unit of z-score BMI and z-score waist, equivalent to an increase in 3.7 kg/m2 and 10.7 cm, respectively, was associated with 17 19% increase in odds for the AA genotype.
