Thresholds for defining cardiovascular risk in boys, Bogalusa Heart Study

Smoothed body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference thresholds for predicting risk factor clustering among male children and adolescents in the Bogalusa Heart Study (1992-1994). Each curve defines the optimal BMI or waist circumference which predicts having three or more cardiovascular risk factors (high blood pressure; low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration; or high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, or insulin concentration, adjusted for age) at a given age.
