Aim: To compare the associations of several anthropometric indices (i.e. waist circumference [WC], waist‐to‐height ratio, body mass index (BMI) and waist‐to‐hip ratio) with the insulin resistance (IR) proxy measures in Greek schoolchildren.

Waist-to-height ratio and cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescence: findings from a prospective birth cohort
TLDR
In adults, associations between body mass index (BMI), waist‐to‐height ratio (WHtR) and cardiometabolic outcomes are similar and there is a paucity of prospective data.
Comparison of several anthropometric indices with insulin resistance proxy measures among European adolescents: The Helena Study
TLDR
WC and WHtR were found to be more strongly associated with IR proxy measures compared to the rest of anthropometric indices among overweight/obese subjects and could be used, alternatively, to identify the overweight/OBese adolescent at risk for developing IR.
Neck circumference: a useful screening tool of cardiovascular risk in children
TLDR
This study aims to examine the association between neck circumference and several cardiovascular risk factors and to compare it with well‐established anthropometric indices.
Anthropometric Measures and Insulin Resistance in Rural Indian Adolescents
TLDR
It is concluded that lean mass is as strongly associated with IR as fat mass in rural Indian adolescents, contrary to the belief that higher rates of IR in South Asians reflect greater central adiposity.
Anthropometric Measures and Insulin Resistance in Rural Indian
TLDR
It is concluded that lean mass is as strongly associated with IR as fat mass in rural Indian adolescents, contrary to the belief that higher rates of IR in South Asians reflect greater central adiposity.
Association between Obesity Indices and Insulin Resistance among Healthy Korean Adolescents: The JS High School Study
TLDR
It is suggested that obesity indices are positively associated with insulin resistance in apparently healthy adolescents and were stronger in males than in females.
Body composition of obese adolescents: association between adiposity indicators and cardiometabolic risk factors
TLDR
Anthropometric measures of adiposity, such a body mass index, waist-to-stature ratio, arm circumference and waist circumference, should be considered in the clinical evaluation of obese adolescents.
Are metabolic syndrome and its components in obese children influenced by the overweight status or the insulin resistance?
TLDR
The study results show that both BMI Z-score and OGTT stimulated hyperinsulinaemia are good predictors of MS occurrence in obese children and adolescents.
Association between complement component C3 and body composition: a possible obesity inflammatory biomarker for insulin resistance.
TLDR
C3 may be a marker of chronic inflammatory process independently underlying IR obese individuals regardless of gender, which may have a role in the progression of IR during obesity.
Prediction of Insulin Resistance Based on Anthropometric and Clinical Variables in Children with Overweight or Obesity at a Tertiary Center in Northeast Mexico.
TLDR
A simple and affordable method of identifying IR in children with overweight or OB based on anthropometric variables and routine blood tests for metabolic indicators, such as glucose and triglycerides, which can be implemented in underserved sites is developed.

Can waist circumference identify children with the metabolic syndrome?
TLDR
Waist circumference is a predictor of insulin resistance syndrome in children and adolescents and could be included in clinical practice as a simple tool to help identify children at risk.
Waist-to-height ratio is the best predictor of cardiovascular disease risk factors in Japanese schoolchildren.
TLDR
Among the anthropometric indices, W/Ht ratio was the most significant predictor for TC, TG, LDLC, AI, and the score and Pearson's correlation analysis showed that significant independent correlates for the score included W/ Ht ratio and %Fat.
Waist-to-hip ratio is a better screening measure for cardiovascular risk factors than other anthropometric indicators in Tehranian adult men
TLDR
It is concluded that WHpR is a better predictor for cardiovascular risk factors than BMI, WC and WHtR in Tehranian adult men.
Waist circumference as a predictor of cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors in obese girls
TLDR
Waist circumference was independently associated with certain cardiovascular risk factors, in particular insulin resistance and diastolic blood pressure, independently of age and Tanner stage, suggesting that waist circumference may be reasonably included in clinical practice as a simple tool that may help to identify sub-groups of obese girls at higher metabolic risk across puberty.
Waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio are better predictors of cardiovascular disease risk factors in children than body mass index
TLDR
W waist circumference was the most significant predictor for all variables both for boys and girls, whereas BMI had the lowest predictive value for the detection of cardiovascular disease risk factors.

TLDR
Waist circumference is the best body size measurement in predicting diabetes in Aboriginal people according to the results of a community-based cross-sectional study.
Indexes of insulin resistance and secretion in obese children and adolescents: a validation study.
TLDR
Indexes derived from fasting samples are a valid tool for assessing insulin sensitivity in prepubertal and pubertal obese children.
Cardiovascular risk factors in obese children in relation to weight and body fat distribution.
TLDR
Evaluated body fat distribution in obese children may help to identify persons most susceptible to cardiovascular risk in adulthood, as obese children with predominantly abdominal fat mass show a risk profile that is less favorable than gluteal-femoral fat distribution.
