Definitions of normal and abnormal measures of cardiometabolic variables

Cardiometabolic variable	Cutoffs
Obesity	Class I BMI ≥100% of 95th percentile Class II BMI ≥120% of 95th percentile Class III BMI ≥140% of 95th percentile
Blood pressure	Normal if SBP and DBP < 90th percentile Pre‐HTN if SBP or DBP ≥90th and < 95th percentile HTN if SBP or DBP ≥95th percentile
Glucose	Non‐diabetic if HbA1c <5.7% and fasting glucose <100 mg/dL Pre‐diabetic if HbA1c 5.7–6.4% or fasting glucose 100–125 mg/dL Diabetic if HbA1c ≥6.5% or fasting glucose ≥126 mg/dL
LDL‐c	Normal if LDL‐c < 110 mg/dL Borderline High if LDL‐c 110–130 mg/dL High if LDL‐c ≥ 130 mg/dL
Triglycerides	Normal if triglycerides <90 mg/dL Borderline high if triglycerides 90–129 High if triglycerides ≥130 mg/dL
HDL‐c	Normal if HDL‐c > 45 mg/dL Borderline Low if HDL‐c 40–45 mg/dL Low if HDL‐c ≤ 40 mg/dL
ALT	Normal ALT <25 U/L (males); <22 U/L (female patients) Moderately elevated ALT 25–40 (male patients); 22–40 (female patients) Severely elevated if ALT ≥40 (male and female patients)

BMI, body mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; HDL‐c, HDL‐cholesterol; LDL‐c, LDL‐cholesterol; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
