 This study found that the waist-to-height ratio, WHTR, was a better indicator of central obesity than body mass index, BMI, in both normal weight and overweight obese children. Additionally, this study demonstrated that WHTR can identify children who are at risk for developing cardiovascular disease even when they do not meet the criteria for being overweight or obese. This suggests that WHTR may be a useful tool for pediatric healthcare providers to use in order to identify children who are at risk for developing cardiovascular disease.
