Key result
Adjusting for body size and composition weakens cardiorespiratory fitness for identifying pediatric cardiometabolic risk.
Why the study?
Do peak oxygen uptake cut-points identify children at increased cardiometabolic risk?
Do peak oxygen uptake cut-points identify children at increased cardiometabolic risk?
Controlling for body size and composition reduces the utility of cardiorespiratory fitness cut-points for identifying cardiometabolic risk in children.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Cardiorespiratory fitness cut-points should not guide pediatric cardiometabolic risk assessment without body-composition adjustment; leaves open independent value of fitness.
among girls were cut-points to identify those at increased cardiometabolic risk. Appropriately controlling for body size and composition reduced the ability of cardiorespiratory fitness to identify children at increased cardiometabolic risk.
