Reference values for cardiometabolic risk scores in children and adolescents: Suggesting a common standard

TL;DR: A unified approach makes single risk factors and clustered cardiometabolic disease risk scores comparable to the reference material itself and comparable to cardiometric risk values in studies using the same strategy, and increases the prospect to estimate and compare prevalence and trends of carduometabolic risk in children when using continuous cardiometryabolic risk scores.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common Genetic Determinants of Glucose Homeostasis in Healthy Children: The European Youth Heart Study

TL;DR: The effects of common polymorphisms influencing fasting glucose are apparent in healthy children, whereas the presence of multiple risk alleles amounts to a difference of >1 SD of fasting glucose.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sedentary Time in Children: Influence of Accelerometer Processing on Health Relations.

TL;DR: The choice of accelerometer cut point may moderate the association between sedentary time and clustered metabolic risk, suggesting that direct comparisons of associations between studies using different cut points must be made with caution.
