Evaluation of Hip/Height(P) Ratio as an Index for Adiposity and Metabolic Complications in Obese Children: Comparison with Waist-related Indices.
CONCLUSION: Hip/height and BAIp are better markers for overweight (adiposity) in obese children than BAI. However, hip/height, BAIp, and BAI are not useful to predict metabolic complications. Waist appears to be the best index for obese children overall at this time.
