Body mass index correlates with waist circumference in school aged Italian children
2012, Diabetes Research and Clinical PracticeCitation Excerpt :By contrast, BMI is a simple anthropometric measure, routinely determined during children physical examination both at school and sport association. The significant linear correlation between WC and BMI values found in this study, in agreement with some data in the literature [18–20], suggests the possibility to indirectly estimate WC from height and weight, at least within selected groups, as are school aged Italian children and could provide an alternative and simple tool represented by BMI, in the clinical assessment of the risk of metabolic syndrome. Further investigations on different groups are needed to substantiate our results and to definitely attribute to BMI a predictive value in the clinical setting of the risk for the diagnosis of childhood obesity-related metabolic disorders.
