“…Several studies have been recently conducted to demonstrate the accuracy of WHtR in identifying the risks for CVD in obese children and adolescents from healthy youth population; defining cut-offs and centiles for this easily calculated parameter [36][37][38]. It is also ideal and non-invasive tool in terms of interpretation and measurement to be used in clinical practice.…”

Background Obesity is one of the most challenging clinical syndromes associated with deleterious health problems. Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), a newer index for abdominal fat assessment, can be a superior tool in the evaluation of cardiometabolic risk. This study aimed to determine the relation between WHtR and lipid cardiovascular risk ratios and insulin resistance (IR) in children and adolescents with exogenous obesity. Results This analytical cross-sectional study included 80 children and adolescents with exogenous obesity, compared to 80 age- and sex-matched healthy non-overweight non-obese controls. Fasting lipid profile (total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)), fasting insulin, and fasting blood glucose were done and lipoprotein risk ratios were calculated; TC/HDL, LDL/HDL, non-HDL/HDL, and TG/HDL). In addition, homeostatic model assessment for IR (HOMA IR), triglyceride glucose index (TyG), TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC were calculated. The study group included 55 (34.4%) males and 105 (65.6%) females with a mean age of 13.6 ± 2.22 years. Obese group had significantly higher TC, TG, LDL, non-HDL, LDL/HDL, TC/HDL, non-HDL/HDL, and TG/HDL, with significantly lower HDL. In addition, they had significantly higher FBG, HOMA IR, TyG, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC indices compared to the control group. There were statistically significant correlations between WHtR and lipid profile, lipid risk ratios and indices of IR. WHtR was found to be an independent predictor of IR by linear regression analysis. Conclusion WHtR can be an excellent, easy, and reliable clinical predictor for cardiovascular risk and IR in children and adolescents with exogenous obesity.

“…Unfortunately, BMI does not distinguish between fat mass and lean mass (38). For this, the BMI can be supplemented with the abdominal perimeter, waist-to-hip ratio, or waist-to-height ratio (39). Another option is the measurement of skin folds in adolescents to diagnose and analyze body composition changes during the treatment of childhood obesity (40)…”

According to the Body Mass Index, overweight and obesity in adolescents has increased. Review of clinical trials to determine the effect on adolescents' Body mass index with twelve weeks of exercise compared to a control group. PUBMED, WOS, SCOPUS, BEIC, JSTOR, and SCIELO data sources. Inclusion criteria: 1. Adolescent population; 2. Body mass index results; 3. Clinical trials; 4. groups with exercise and control; 5. Spanish, English, and Portuguese language; 6. Publications up to February 2021; Keywords: Adolescents, Body Mass Index, Exercise and Clinical Trial. Data extraction: effect on the Body mass index and its standard deviation. 8 studies (N: 761). Exercise significantly reduced the Body mass index of adolescents -0.57 Kg/m² (-0.7 to -0.5) p < 0.01. Statistical heterogeneity (I²: 89%). 12 weeks of exercise are effective at decreasing Body mass index in adolescents.

Objective: to establish clinical and molecular features of endometrial hyperplasia in conditions of organic solvents exposure in patients with obesity. Materials and methods: postmenopausal women with endometrial hyperplasia (morphological criteria) were included to observational cross-sectional study. The main group included 140 subjects with occupational organic solvents exposure, aged 57,5 (46;64) years, of whom 70 had obesity and 70 had normal weight. Comparison group — 140 women without of occupational health risks, aged 56,5 (46;65) years, 68 with and 72 without obesity. Investigated workers were painters in machine building industry with length of service above 10 years, in post-contact period lasted for 1-5 years were 29 (20.7%) of participants. Organic solvents concentrations at the workplace’s areas were 1.5-5.5 times above occupational exposure limits. Linear and logistic regression were used to explore relationships. Level of significance p<0.05. Results: workers exposed to organic solvents had maximal percent of atypical endometrial hyperplasia: 34.3% in obesity subjects and 18.6% in those without obesity, in the comparison group 10.3% in subjects with and 6.9% in those without obesity, p=0.004. Subgroup with toxicant exposure with obesity characterized by maximal expression of Ki-67 (55,9±2,51, 51,4±4,95, 41,5±3,29 and 30,1±2,18 scores respectively), higher rate of uterine bleeding, M-echo thickness, blood interleukin 1β concentration. Atypical endometrial hyperplasia was associated with length of service (OR 1.80), maximal short-term exposure concentration of toluene (OR 2.51), waist circumference (OR 1.68), Ki-67 (OR 2,01), estrogen receptors on epithelium (OR 1.92). Conclusions: organic solvents exposure in postmenopausal women with endometrial hyperplasia contributes to development of atypical hyperplasia, systemic inflammation, Ki-67 expression, higher grades in subjects with obesity.
