“…Increased cIMT has been reported in children with traditional CV risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. [28][29][30][31] Contrary to a previous study showing lack of association between cIMT and BMI in healthy children less than 15 years of age, 27 we observed an association between cIMT and both BMI and CV risk cluster score. While the association with BMI was stronger in adolescents (age [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] than in young children, cIMT showed stronger association with the CV risk score in younger children (age 6-11).…”

“…32 Also, the strong associations between BMI, FM, WHR, and WC may account for their predictive capacity, and combining them may account for the absence of additional information. 36 Findings of the current study show an association between FFM and cIMT among the study group. This is similar to what has been found in other reports.…”

The associations of body composition and anthropometric measures with carotid intima-media thickness in obese and non-obese schoolchildren: A possible predictor for cardiovascular diseases

2017

Background Increased carotid intima-media thickness is one of the predictors of future cardiovascular diseases. However, it is still unknown which body composition parameter or anthropometric measure is the best predictor for carotid intima-media thickness change among children and young adolescents. Objective To investigate the associations of body composition and anthropometric measures with carotid intima-media thickness among a group of obese and normal bodyweight schoolchildren. Methods A total of 125 schoolchildren (10-15 years) were recruited from four public schools in Amman, Jordan. Of them, 60 (29 boys and 31 girls) were normal bodyweight students and 65 (35 boys and 30 girls) were obese students. Anthropometric measures, fat mass and fat-free mass were determined. Carotid intima-media thickness of the common artery was measured using high-resolution B-mode ultrasound. Results Compared to normal bodyweight students, obese participants exhibited greater carotid intima-media thickness (mm) (0.45 ± 0.10 vs. 0.38 ± 0.08, p = 0.002) and fat-free mass (kg) (48.01 ± 11.39 vs. 32.65 ±7.65, p < 0.001). Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis revealed significant associations ( p≤0.05) between mean carotid intima-media thickness and body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, fat mass and fat-free mass. Stepwise linear regression analysis revealed that waist circumference was the only measure that was statistically significant ( p ≤ 0.05) with mean carotid intima-media thickness (r = 0.129, p = 0.002). Conclusions Obesity is related to greater carotid intima-media thickness and other cardiovascular risk factors among schoolchildren. Waist circumference is more sensitive in predicting increased carotid intima-media thickness than other body composition or anthropometric measures. Waist circumference measurement in the analysis of future studies assessing the cardiovascular risk among obese children is warranted.

“…WC has proven to be effective for estimating total adiposity, and has been validated against various other body composition methods, including skin fold , bioelectrical impedance , air displacement plethysmography , and dual x‐ray absorptiometry . Furthermore, the role of WC as an indicator of risk has been evaluated in several pathological conditions and physiological markers such as hypertension and cardiometabolic risk , nonalcoholic fatty liver disease , 25‐hydroxyvitamin D , adipokines , serum uric acid , intimae media thickness , C‐reactive protein, homocysteine and cysteine . Evidently, WC is of great utility and relevance in clinical and research settings.…”

Changes in pediatric waist circumference percentiles despite reported pediatric weight stabilization in the United States

et al. 2016

Background Obesity is a global health concern but the United States has reported a leveling in obesity rates in the pediatric population. Objective To provide updated waist circumference (WC) percentile values, identify differences across time and discuss differences within the context of reported weight stabilization in a nationally representative sample of American children. Methods Percentiles for WC in self-identified African Americans (AA), European Americans (EA) and Mexican Americans (MA) were obtained from 2009–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data (NHANES2014). Descriptive trends across time in 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th and 90th percentile WC distributions were identified by comparing NHANES2012 with previously reported NHANESIII (1988–94). Results WC increased in a monotonic fashion in AA, EA and MA boys and girls. When compared with NHANESIII data, a clear left shift of percentile categories was observed such that values that used to be in the 90th percentile are now in the 85th percentile. Differences in WC were observed in EA and MA boys during a reported period of weight stabilization. Conclusion and Relevance WC has changed in the US pediatric population across time, even during times of reported weight stabilization, particularly among children of diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds.

Single and combined effects of body composition phenotypes on carotid intima‐media thickness

Abstract: Combination of total and central measures of fat does not improve the prediction of increased cIMT in children. Simple surrogate measures of fatness can be used to predict increased cIMT urging special attention to those children who exhibit increased abdominal fat.
