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.
