Skinfold reference curves and their use in predicting metabolic syndrome risk in children
Objectives: To draw skinfold (SF) reference curves (subscapular, suprailiac, biceps, triceps) and to determine SF cutoff points for predicting the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in children aged 6–10 years old. Methods: This was a cross‐sectional study with a random sample of 1480 children aged 6...

| description | Objectives: To draw skinfold (SF) reference curves (subscapular, suprailiac, biceps, triceps) and to determine SF cutoff points for predicting the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in children aged 6–10 years old.
Methods: This was a cross‐sectional study with a random sample of 1480 children aged 6–10 years old, 52.2% females, from public and private schools located in the urban and rural areas of the municipality of Uberaba (MG). Anthropometry, blood pressure, and fasting blood samples were taken at school, following specific protocols. The LMS method was used to draw the reference curves and ROC curve analysis to determine the accuracy and cutoff points for the evaluated skinfolds.
Results: The four SF evaluated (subscapular, suprailiac, biceps, and triceps) and their sum (∑4SF) were accurate in predicting MetS for both girls and boys. Additionally, cutoffs have been proposed and percentile curves (p5, p10, p25, p50, p75, p90, and p95) were outlined for the four SF and ∑4SF, for both genders.
Conclusion: SF measurements were accurate in predicting metabolic syndrome in children aged 6–10 years old. Age‐ and gender‐specific smoothed percentiles curves of SF provide a reference for the detection of risk for MetS in children. |
