Relative children's lipid accumulation with hypertension in Chinese children and adolescents.

Background: This study aimed to develop a novel indicator associated with hypertension in Chinese children and adolescents, the relative children's lipid accumulation product (RCLAP).

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018. A total of 683 students aged 8-15 years were recruited via a stratified cluster sampling Methods.

Optimal cutoff of the abdominal skinfold thickness (AST) to predict hypertension among Chinese children and adolescents.

Previous studies have shown that the correlation between the abdominal skinfold thickness (AST) and hypertension is better than that observed using the body mass index (BMI) or waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). We aimed to explore the optimal cutoff of the AST to predict childhood hypertension. The AST percentiles were calculated based on 215,223 students from the Chinese National Survey on Students' Constitution and Health (CNSSCH) in 2010 using the LMS method.

Relative Children's Lipid Accumulation Product Is a Novel Indicator for Metabolic Syndrome.

Background: The children's lipid accumulation product (CLAP) is associated with MS in Chinese children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to develop a more effective indicator, the relative children's lipid accumulation product (RCLAP) was evaluated for correlation with MS and the density of lipid accumulation.

Methods: A stratified cluster sampling method was used to recruit 683 students aged 8-15 years in this study.

An association between body image dissatisfaction and digit ratio among Chinese children and adolescents.

Body image dissatisfaction (BID) is a negative evaluation of personal physical characteristics, including dissatisfaction with body shape, gender, sexual organs, appearance and so forth, and it plays an important role in growth and development. The second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) is recognized as a putative indicator of intra-uterine testosterone to estrogen ratio exposure, and it has been observed that higher levels of fetal testosterone exposure are associated with a lower 2D:4D. The present paper contributes to a better understanding of the biological underpinnings of BID by analyzing BID and the digit ratio (2D:4D).

A Novel Indicator of Children's Lipid Accumulation Product Associated with Impaired Fasting Glucose in Chinese Children and Adolescents.

Background: Diabetes is one of the most prevalent noncommunicable diseases worldwide. Children's lipid accumulation product (CLAP) is a novel indicator to show children's lipid accumulation and is effectively associated with metabolic syndrome among children and adolescents. The aim of the present study was to explore an association between CLAP and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in Chinese children and adolescents.

A novel indicator, childhood lipid accumulation product, is associated with hypertension in Chinese children and adolescents.

Childhood hypertension has become an important public health issue. This study explored a novel indicator, namely, childhood lipid accumulation product (CLAP), which is associated with hypertension among children and adolescents. A total of 683 children and adolescents aged 8-15 years were measured for body weight, height, waist circumference (WC), abdominal skinfold thickness (AST), triacylglycerol (TG), blood pressure, dietary behaviors, and physical activity time.
