Abstract:Background
Targeted metabolomics analysis was applied to explore the association of BCAAs and adolescent obesity, developed and validated a nomogram model to predict the adolescent obesity risk.
Methods
104 adolescents aged 16–17 years were included. Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was performed to measure BCAAs levels. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were used to measure obesity. Univariate logistic regression was performed to estimate obesity… Show more
