“…In our study, LVM and LVH are highly associated with SBP and DBP, BMI and WtHr, but not with adjusted HOMA index. Even in the paediatric population, an association between BP and left ventricular wall thickness and ventricular mass has been demonstrated [43], and a relationship between weight excess and cardiac hypertrophy has been documented [44,45]. However, our finding confirms previous data on the fact that insulin resistance, per se, is not the main determinant of cardiac hypertrophy in children [46], suggesting that pathophysiological mechanisms determining cardiac mass increase in obese children could be partially different as compared with obese adults [16][17][18].…”

“…11 Our group and others have previously shown that total body adiposity in children is correlated with an unfavorable LV structure and function. 12,13 However, little is known about the relation of VAT to LV structure and function.…”

“…This notion is supported by the reports that indicate greater LV structure in obese compared to non-obese subjects. 11,14 The prevalence of overweight and obesity is very low in this sample so that it was impractical to classify subjects as obese and non-obese.…”

“…Nevertheless, the correlations between the BMI and LV parameters for the entire sample (9-18 years of age) are similar to other reports. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Studies examining age-specific correlations within narrow age groups are unavailable for comparison. The findings suggest age-and sex-specific patterns in the correlations between adiposity and LV measures.…”
