Relationship between waist-to-height ratio (WHtR, %) and other markers of metabolic and cardiovascular risk in adolescent girls (closed symbols, intact line) and boys (open symbols, broken line). Linear regression lines and correlations for the relationships are as follows. (A) lnInsulin = 1.041 × lnWHtR – 1.568; r = 0.288, p < 0.001 (129 girls) and lnInsulin = 1.572 × lnWHtR–3.949; r = 0.394, p < 0.001 (95 boys); (B) lnFibrinogen = 0.948 × lnWHtR–2.565; r = 0.585, p < 0.001 (128 girls) and lnFibrinogen = 0.702 × lnWHtR – 1.662; r = 0.477, p < 0.001 (94 boys); (C) lnTriglyceride = 0.771 × lnWHtR–3.219; r = 0.226, p = 0.010 (129 girls) and lnTriglyceride = 1.186 × lnWHtR–4.977; r = 0.322, p = 0.002 (95 boys); (D) lnHDL = 3.309–0.751 × lnWHtR; r = –0.411, p < 0.001 (129 girls) and lnHDL = 2.407–0.517 × lnWHtR; r = –30.273, p = 0.008 (95 boys); (E) lnCRP = 4.14 × lnWHtR–16.62; r = 0.553, p < 0.001 (127 girls) and lnCRP = 3.46 × lnWHtR–13.80; r = 0.456, p < 0.001 (95 boys); (F) DBP=24.29 × lnWHtR–24.66; r = 0.252, p = 0.004 (129 girls) and DBP = 31.80 × lnWHtR–54.46; r = 0.330, p < 0.001 (95 boys). DBP = diastolic blood pressure; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; hsCRP = high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
