“…Better correlations were found between FM, FMI with fatty liver. Another study was reported that BIA FM positive correlated to BMI, WC in obese children [23]. Our findings support these data and FM, FMI moderately positive correlated to BMI-SDS, WC, UMAC and HC in obese children.…”

“…Therefore, it is important to determine both fat tissue location and its percentage in body composition. The visceral location of fat tissue revealed in the developmental age is a significant factor in the development of metabolic syndrome [23]. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is now accepted as a reference and gold standard method for assessing body composition in children and adolescents with obesity.…”

Introduction: To compare the bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) with indirect measurement methods in the evaluation of obese children. To determine the diagnostic value of BIA in the fatty liver and metabolic syndrome (MS) in obese children. Population and methods: One hundred thirty-four obese children whom ≥10 years of age were prospectively assessment. All patients were evaluated by foot to foot BIA and indirect measurement methods. Blood biochemical parameters such as glucose, lipids and insulin levels were studied and oral glucose tolerance test was performed. Fatty liver was assessed by ultrasonography. Compared BIA records and indirect measurements findings according to fatty liver and MS. Results: The study included females/males: 77/57, mean age of 13.3 ± 2.2 years. Fatty liver was detected in 94 patients, MS was diagnosed in 58 cases. There were no gender difference in terms of fatty liver and MS. Fatty liver was seen more frequently in patients with metabolic syndrome than in those without metabolic syndrome (p < 0.001). Fat Mass (FM) of ≥ 97th percentile was observed in 63% of the 94 patients with fatty liver versus 37.5% of 40 patients without fatty liver. A FM of ≥97th percentile was observed in 72% (n=42) of the 58 patients with metabolic syndrome, 42% (n=33) of 76 patients without MS. Body mass index, upper mid-arm circumference, waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference values were significantly increased in patients with fatty liver. There was a better correlation was determined between FM and FM Index with fatty liver compared to indirect measurement methods. BIA records were found moderately correlated with indirect measurements. Conclusion: Our results revealed that FM and FMI have a better correlated in obese children with fatty liver and metabolic syndrome than indirect measurement methods. The measurement of body FM by BIA can be used together with the indirect measurement methods to detect the fatty liver. FMI may be an alternative diagnostic criterion instead of WC for diagnosis of MS in children.

“…In adolescents with a normal BMI, it has been observed that a significant increase in TBF accompanied by a decrease in lean mass and total body water content may contribute to development of metabolic syndrome 3 . Furthermore, a previous meta‐analysis of observational studies in adolescents suggested that hyperinsulinaemia plays a key role in the development of metabolic disorders through increased adipose tissue function 4 …”

“…Therefore, education about proper dietary habits, regular health care, control of body weight and regular medical examinations for adolescents are needed in particular 5 . Assessment of weight status in children and adolescents includes anthropometric measurements and indicators calculated on their basis, such as body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-toheight ratio (WHtR), as they were shown to correlate strongly with risk factors for CVD 6 . WHtR is an indicator that reflects a relationship, changing with age, between the rate of waist circumference (WC) increase and body height.…”

“…WHtR is an indicator that reflects a relationship, changing with age, between the rate of waist circumference (WC) increase and body height. It is a simple indicator for estimating the risk factors for CVD during clinical screening, and it seems to be even more reliable than WC and BMI ( 6 ). There is growing evidence that children and adolescents with high blood pressure (BP) are much more common than previously thought.…”

The aim was to determine differences in anthropometric measurements, dietary habits, serum lipid and glucose levels in relation to high blood pressure (BP) among adolescent boys and girls in Croatia. The specific aim was to determine the effect of dietary habits and lifestyle on high BP in adolescents according to sex. The study included 260 (68.2%) adolescent girls and 121 (31.8%) boys with anthropometric data obtained (without missing values) from 246 girls and 111 boys. Participants answered questions from the questionnaire and anthropometric BP and blood test values were obtained. Non-parametric tests were used in analyses of reference intervals of systolic and diastolic BP in adolescent boys and girls according to age. High BP was defined as ≥90 th percentile for adolescent girls and boys, with a value of ≥135/87.5 mm Hg. Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze differences in anthropometric and laboratory values between the groups of girls and boys with high (≤90 th percentile) and normal BP. Increase in systolic and diastolic BP was noted in the adolescents. In girls, BP values showed a decreasing systolic and increasing diastolic BP trend with age. Girls with high BP had a significantly higher body mass index (BMI) (p=0.020), waist circumference (WC) (p=0.002), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) (p=0.016), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) (p=0.043), hip circumference (HC) (p=0.015), triglyceride (TG) levels (p=0.021), higher prevalence of unhealthy diet at school breakfast (p=0.008) and lower prevalence of eating fish (p=0.02). Boys with high BP had a significantly higher BMI (p=0.045), WC (p=0.004), WHtR (p=0.017), WHR (p=0.022) and higher prevalence of eating meat products (p=0.015). Effective health interventions are needed to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and preventing age-related illness.
