Table 2.

Receiver operating curve cut-offs for cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) to predict overweight/obesity for different anthropometric indices, stratified by sex.

Study variables Body-mass index (kg/m2; ≥85th percentile denotes overweight/obesity)
VO2max (mlO2/kg/min) AUC 95% CI Std. error Value of p Cut-off point
Boys (N = 766) 0.83 0.78–0.88 0.027 <0.001 44.6
Girls (N = 866) 0.86 0.82–0.90 0.022 <0.001 41.0
Waist circumference (cm; ≥85th percentile denotes overweight/obesity)
VO2max (mlO2/kg/min) AUC 95% CI Std. error Value of p Cut-off point
Boys (N = 766) 0.77 0.71–0.83 0.031 <0.001 46.4
Girls (N = 866) 0.83 0.79–0.88 0.024 <0.001 40.8
Waist-to-height ratio (≥0.5 denotes overweight/obesity)
VO2max (mlO2/kg/min) AUC 95% CI Std. error Value of p Cut-off point
Boys (N = 766) 0.90 0.86–0.93 0.019 <0.001 46.9
Girls (N = 866) 0.88 0.84–0.93 0.023 <0.001 40.7
