To purpose news body mass index (BMI) cut offs to 7 to 12 years old scholars.
1.413 scholars of 7 to 12 years old selected of aleatory way. Were measured the BMI, total cholesterol (TC), and systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). To the date analyze were used the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) and the bivariate analyze.
The BMI cut offs proposed at this study show adequate capacity to identify true positive and negative to the cardiovascular diseases (CVD) risk factors presence. Besides, these cut offs show higher and more balanced sensibility and specificity values than other cut offs proposals.
The BMI proposed at this study configure with as the more adequate alternative to the screening for the scholars with increased chances to carry DCV risk factors.
为7至12岁的学生设定新的体重指数(BMI)临界值。
随机选取1413名7至12岁的学生。测量其BMI、总胆固醇(TC)、收缩压(SBP)和舒张压(DBP)。数据分析采用受试者工作特征曲线(ROC曲线)和双变量分析。
本研究提出的BMI临界值显示出有足够能力识别心血管疾病(CVD)危险因素存在时的真阳性和真阴性。此外,这些临界值比其他临界值提议显示出更高且更平衡的敏感性和特异性值。
本研究提出的BMI是对有较高患DCV危险因素几率的学生进行筛查的更合适选择。
