High-risk groups of children and adolescents exhibited significantly increased waist circumference, BMI, percent body fat, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, and lower HDL cholesterol compared to low-risk groups.
Population
678 children and adolescents in the US, aged 8-18, divided into three cohorts monitored for 4 years.

High-risk cardiometabolic profiles identified in youth; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Cohort (n=678)
Yes
Principal component functional curve analysis identified distinct high-risk cardiovascular profiles in children and adolescents characterized by adverse anthropometric and lipid trajectories.
Ip et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Cardiovascular risk factors (n=678). Less favorable cardiovascular health group (LF-CHG) vs. More favorable cardiovascular health group (MF-CHG) and national norms was evaluated on Cardiovascular risk factor trajectories (lipids, blood pressure, anthropometry). High-risk groups of children and adolescents exhibited significantly increased waist circumference, BMI, percent body fat, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, and lower HDL cholesterol compared to low-risk groups.
