Body mass index, waist circumference, and waist-to-height ratio as predictors of cardiometabolic risk in childhood obesity depending on pubertal development.

Context: The predictive value of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WtHR) to define cardiometabolic risk is unclear in childhood obesity.

Objective: [corrected] The associations between BMI, WtHR, or WC and cardiometabolic risk markers were analyzed in a multicenter data collection of obese youth.

Design And Subjects: BMI, WtHR, and WC were retrospectively evaluated in 1278 patients (11-18 years, 53% boys) from the German/Austrian/Swiss Adiposity Patients Registry.

Scrotal hysterectomy in a male patient with mixed gonadal dysgenesis 46,XY(75%)/45,X(25%).

We report on a 20-year-old man in whom endocrinological investigation owing to dysmorphic signs characteristic for Turner syndrome revealed mixed gonadal dysgenesis. The patient was referred to us for further diagnostic investigations on a right intrascrotal tumour. Both testes were intrascrotal and hypotrophic with normal testosterone production.
