©2013 UpToDate ® Print Email Thresholds for defining cardiovascular risk in girls, Bogalusa Heart Study Smoothed body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference thresholds for predicting risk factor clustering among female 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. Data from: Katzmarzyk PT, Srinivasan SR, Chen W, et al. Body mass index, waist circumference, and clustering of cardiovascular disease risk factors in a biracial sample of children and adolescents. Pediatrics 2004; 114:e198.
