Predicting cardiometabolic markers in children using tri-ponderal mass index: a cross-sectional study

摘要

Objective To model the development of the tri-ponderal mass index (TMI, kg/m(3)) throughout childhood and adolescence and to compare the utility of the TMI with that of the body mass index (BMI, kg/m(2)) to predict cardiometabolic risk in a population-based sample of Canadian children and youth.
