Mean differences in cardiometabolic risk factors by body mass index and muscular fitness categories in boys.

Data are presented as marginal estimated mean ± SE. MAP = mean arterial blood pressure (DBP + {0.333 x (SBP—DBP)}); Log Insulin = logarithm of fasting insulin; Log TG/HDL-c = logarithm of triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio. CMRI = cardiometabolic risk index. Categories of body mass index (BMI) are Normal Weight (NW), Overweight (OW) and Obesity (OB) according to gender-and-age-specific cut-offs defined by Cole and Lobstein. Categories of muscular fitness (an index was measured by the sum of the standardized z score of dynamometry/weight and standing long jump) are Lower Q (representing 1st quartile), Middle Q (2nd and 3rd quartiles), and Upper Q (4th quartile). Model 1 controlling for age. All the pairwise mean comparisons using Bonferroni post-hoc test were statistically significant (p<0.001) (NWMiddle Q>Upper Q for muscular fitness), except for superscript letter. Model 2 further adjustments for muscular fitness to BMI (NW Mean differences in cardiometabolic risk factors by body mass index and muscular fitness categories in boys.
