Brief Summary: The present study showed that the 75th percentile of visceral fat area in boys and girls is the optimal cutoff for screening cardiometabolic risk and its clustering but the 80th percentile is the optimal cutoff for hyperglycemia screening in girls The investigators proposed simplified cutoffs of 3719 cm2 and 3109 cm2 aged 6 to 8 years 5676 cm2 and 3951 cm2 aged 9 to 11 years 5703 cm2 and 3833 cm2 aged 12 to 15 years and 5832 cm2 and 5391 cm2 aged 16 to 18 years for boys and girls respectively Both the optimal and simplified methods were verified in a 2-year longitudinal cohort An improved understanding of the importance of visceral fat to cardiometabolic risk and its clustering in children may yield insight into the risks associated with child obesity and the initial phases of cardiovascular disease development especially in normal-weight boys
