Table 2. Definitions of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in adult and pediatric individuals.

	Consensus criteria
	Adult³¹	Pediatric²³
Obesity	BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²	BMI ≥ 95^th percentile for age and sex
Elevated blood pressure	≥ 130/85 mmHg	≥ 90^th percentile for age, sex, and height
Elevated glucose	Fasting glucose≥ 100 mg/dl	Fasting glucose≥ 100 mg/dl
Low HDL-cholesterol	Males < 40 mg/dl Females < 50 mg/dl	≤ 40 mg/dl
Hypertriglyceridemia	≥ 150 mg/dl	≥ 110 mg/dl

HDL indicates high density lipoprotein; any individual taking drugs for hypertension and/or diabetes was classified as fulfilling the associated criterion

Consensus criteria for obesity suggest that if BMI is greater than 30 kg/m², then waist circumference does not need to be measured, as over 95% of these individuals will have a waist circumference above gender- and ethnic-specific threshold values for obesity
