Evaluation of waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and the conicity index as screening tools for high trunk fat mass, as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, in children aged 3–19 y
TL;DR: Waist circumference provides a simple yet effective measure of truncal adiposity in children and adolescents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kirsten A. McAuley,Sheila M. Williams,Jim Mann,Robert J. Walker,N. J. Lewis-Barned,Lara A. Temple,Ashley Duncan +6 more
TL;DR: A weighted combination of two routine laboratory measurements, i.e., fasting insulin and triglycerides, provides a simple means of screening for insulin resistance in the general population.

DSM-III Disorders in a Large Sample of Adolescents
TL;DR: A model of parental confirmation of disorder was developed suggesting that confirmation was more likely where the mother was depressed, the family low in social support, and the adolescent less socially competent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone mineral density and body composition in boys with distal forearm fractures: A dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry study☆☆☆
TL;DR: The results support the view that low BMC, aBMD, and BMAD values and high adiposity are associated with increased risk of distal forearm fracture in boys and are a concern, given the increasing levels of obesity in children today.
Journal ArticleDOI
More Broken Bones: A 4‐Year Double Cohort Study of Young Girls With and Without Distal Forearm Fractures
TL;DR: It is concluded that previous forearm fracture, low total body aBMD, low spinal BMAD, and high body weight each increase risk of new fractures within 4 years in young girls.
