Reference Values in the 6-Minute Walk Test in Chilean Children Aged 3-10  Years and Relationship With Cardiometabolic Risk

CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a reference equation and an age- and sex-adjusted percentile curve to assess the predicted 6MWT performance in a cohort of prepubertal Chilean children. The 6-minute walk distance depends mainly on age; however, other variables, such as resting heart rate, BP, skinfold fat, and waist circumference, add significant information and should be taken into account.PMID:38307014 | DOI:10.1123/pes.2023-0127
