Abstract Context Body mass index percentiles are widely used to determine overweight and obesity status in children and adolescents. Their limitations in clinical settings can be addressed. Objective Reference ranges for the tri-ponderal mass index percentiles of Korean children and adolescents are presented for a comparison of their clinical variables with those of body mass index. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2007–2016. Patients Korean children and adolescents aged 10 to 20 years. Main Outcome Measures The age- and sex-specific least mean square parameters (skewness, median, and coefficient of variation) for the tri-ponderal mass index of 9749 subjects aged 10 to 20 years. Results The factors associated with metabolic syndrome, except diastolic blood pressure, were more likely to be worse in the subjects with tri-ponderal mass index values indicative of overweight status than in those with normal tri-ponderal mass index values. Body mass index tends to underestimate obesity-related comorbidities more than tri-ponderal mass index does. Conclusion The tri-ponderal mass index standard deviation score may be advantageous when defining overweight and obesity in children and adolescents.

Absolute Height

Abstract Background Evaluating blood pressure (BP) is one element for diagnosing and preventing disease in student populations. The objectives of this research were to (a) identify the range of height for measuring BP adjusted for student populations and (b) propose percentiles for evaluating BP based on height. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out with 3,013 students. Weight, height, and diastolic (DBP) and systolic (SBP) blood pressure were evaluated. Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated. Height ranges of 5 and 10 cm were generated. Results R2 values for height ranges of 5 cm consisted of [normotensive: DBP (R2 = 10 to 13%) and SBP (R2 = 14 to 20%), and for hypertensive: DBP (R2 = 0.07 to 15%) and for SBP (R2 = 29 to 32%)]. For height ranges of 10 cm, values included: [normotensive: DBP (R2 = 10 to 15%), and SBP (R2 = 15 to 21%) and for hypertensive: DBP (R2 = 0.07 to 16%) and SBP (R2 = 29 to 35%)]. For 5 cm height ranges, diferences occurred between both sexes for DBP (in 5 height ranges from 123 to 148 cm and 158 to 168 cm) and for the SBP (in 6 height ranges from 128 to 148 cm and from 158 to 168 cm). In the 10 cm categories, diferences appeared in DBP (from 138 to 148 cm) and in the SBP (from 158 to 168 cm). Conclusions Height is a determinant for evaluating blood pressure, and height ranges of 10 cm are more suitable for children and adolescents. The proposed percentiles based on height ranges allowed assessment of the DBP and SBP suggest their use in epidemiological and educational contexts.
