体脂分布已被证明是心血管疾病风险的一个重要决定因素。本研究的目的是评估评估体脂分布的方法与双能x线吸收仪相比，哪一种方法更有利。该研究包括1992-1993年间从俄亥俄州辛辛那提的学校招募的201名7-17岁的儿童和青少年。与脂肪分布相关性最强的是腰围（r = 0.80）。年龄是脂肪分布比青春期成熟更重要的决定因素。随着年龄的增长，中央体脂肪的相对沉积量增大。多元回归分析表明，腰围是衡量脂肪分布的最佳简单指标，因为它受性别、种族和整体肥胖程度的影响最小。腰围很容易确定，是衡量儿童和青少年脂肪分布的有用指标。
The distribution of body fat has been shown to be an important determinant of cardiovascular disease risk. The purpose of this study was to evaluate which method of evaluating body fat distribution compares most favorably with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. The study included 201 children and adolescents aged 7-17 years who were recruited from Cincinnati, Ohio, schools in 1992-1993. The strongest correlate of fat distribution was waist circumference (r = 0.80). Age was a more important determinant of fat distribution than was pubertal maturation. There was a greater relative deposition of central body fat with increasing age. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that waist circumference was the best simple measure of fat distribution, since it was least affected by gender, race, and overall adiposity. Waist circumference is easy to determine and is a useful measure of fat distribution for children and adolescents.
