Background: Anthropometric indices have been associated with dyslipidemia.
Objective: To compare the abilities of BMI, waist circumference (WC) and WC/height to identify children's dyslipidemia.
Methods: Students 1261 (639 male) age 9.5±2.1 years. were examined for anthropometry and lipid levels. Triglycerides ≥1.69 mmol/L and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) <0.91 mmol/L were considered abnormal per American Heart Association.
Results: The prevalence of abnormal triglycerides was 4.1% and HDL-C 8.1%. The areas under the receiver operator curves (ROC) were: BMI=0.87, WC=0.83, and WC/height=0.84 in predicting both low HDL-C and high triglycerides. Multiple regression analyses showed that the odds ratios (OR) were highest for WC [6.5], followed by WC/height [5.4], and BMI [4.9], for dyslipidemia.
Conclusions: The results suggest that WC, WC/height, and BMI similarly predicted dyslipidemia, using ROC analyses. However, regression analyses showed that WC followed by WC/height was most predictive of dyslipidemia.

Aquatics Lab, Department of Physical Education and Sports, Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Granada, Granada, Spain.
Background: Swimming performance depends on a wide variety of factors; however, the interaction between these factors and their importance varies between events. In sprint events, the characterized pacing underlines its specific development, as swimmers must achieve the highest possible speed while sustaining it to the greatest extent possible.
Objectives: The aim of this review was to identify the key factors underlying sprint swimming performance and to provide in-depth and practical evidence-based information to optimize performance.
Prevalence of overweight and obesity among preschool children in Hainan: a cross-sectional study in China's largest free-trade zone.

Background And Aims: Childhood obesity leads to significant health risks, emphasizing the critical need for effective preventive measures during the preschool years. However, there is a lack of comprehensive studies on overweight and obesity among preschool children in Hainan Island, China's largest free-trade zone. Our study assessed the prevalence of overweight and obesity among preschool children across Hainan Island using Chinese, World Health Organization (WHO), and International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) criteria.

Objective: Muscle power is essential for the activities of daily living. Muscle power production depends on numerous factors such as muscle size and length, muscle architecture and fiber type and varies with age during growth. The association between muscle power output during a jump and lower limb muscle volume and length in adolescents is largely unknown.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a widespread liver condition associated with diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular diseases, yet public awareness remains low. Early detection of risk factors is crucial, but liver biopsy, the diagnostic gold standard, is invasive and costly. Non-invasive anthropometric indices provide a safer alternative.
