“…Interestingly, we observed that the correlation between PBF and CMR, especially dyslipidemia and elevated BP, was stronger in males than in females. This is supported by previous studies 13,28 . Dallaire and colleagues 31 concluded that there were sex differences in cardiovascular function from early fetal life to late adolescence, but reasons for the multifactorial impact of sex have not been thoroughly understood.…”

“…In 2019, a cross-sectional study involving 840 children and adolescents from Brazil showed that PBF assessed by multifrequency BIA was superior to BMI and WHtR in identifying unfavorable lipid profiles. 28 A nationwide CCACH study in China, involving 8944 children and adolescents between the ages of 6 and 18 years, showed that body fat measured by DEXA was more closely related to serum TC, LDL-C, and TG and performed better than BMI in identifying abnormal lipid profiles in males but not in females. 13 Recently, a cross-sectional study conducted in Beijing showed that higher PBF measured by DEXA and BIA was associated with increased BP levels, and the effects were more pronounced in older children.…”

“…One of the limitations of previous studies which explored the association between weight status and cognitive function was using BMI as the only obesity index (Oliosa, Zaniqueli, Alvim, Barbosa, & Mill, 2019). Instead, body fat percentage has been suggested as a better overall body obesity, predictor than BMI.…”

“…This is because BMI as a measure of overall obesity does not account for varying proportions of fat, bone and muscle mass (Nooyens et al, 2007). Furthermore, it has been shown that the association between body fat percentage and BMI is different among different ethnic groups (Deurenberg, Yap, & Van Staveren, 1998), and body fat percentage is a better predictor of metabolic risk factors than BMI in children and adolescents (Oliosa et al, 2019).…”

“…Disease intensity and reversibility: Following the initial line of thought, presenting obesity as the inducer of specific diseases, it seems acceptable to say that disease developmental stage and severity scale are dependent on obesity intensity [ 88 ]. Therefore, we can compare the development of conditions such as inflammation, prediabetes and even psychological consequences [ 89 ] in obese animals based on different obesity intensity measured by selected parameters such as lipid percentage, body fat [ 90 , 91 ] and body weight [ 4 ]. Importantly, the ability to reverse obesity [ 92 , 93 ]—at least a short-term reversion by reducing body weight—would allow us to observe how the other diseases and disorders evolve.…”
