Clustering of cardiometabolic risk factors in Mexican pre-adolescents
Authors' conclusion
MetS and CMH scores capture a similar amount of variation. Additional follow-up studies comparing predictive abilities of MetS and CMH scores may enable improved identification of children at risk for cardiometabolic disease.
Study context
- Population
- Mexican children aged 11 years in the POSGRAD birth cohort with cardiometabolic data available
