BMI metrics and their association with adiposity, cardiometabolic risk factors, and biomarkers in children and adolescents

Carolyn T. Bramante et al.

Summary: The study found that %BMIp95 and %BMIp50 were the most strongly correlated with measures of adiposity in youth, while BMIp consistently had the lowest correlations.

Maternal high-fructose corn syrup consumption causes insulin resistance and hyperlipidemia in offspring via DNA methylation of the Pparα promoter region

Yoshitaka Ando et al.

Summary: There are concerns about the negative effects of fructose intake during pregnancy on the next generation. This study found that maternal high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) consumption led to insulin resistance and hyperlipidemia in offspring. The downregulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR alpha) expression and enhanced DNA methylation of its promoter region were identified as potential molecular mechanisms underlying these effects.

Tri-Ponderal Mass Index vs body Mass Index in discriminating central obesity and hypertension in adolescents with overweight

Alexis E. Malavazos et al.

Summary: The research suggests that Tri-Ponderal Mass Index (TMI) is more accurate than Body Mass Index (BMI) in distinguishing central obesity and hypertension in overweight adolescents. TMI is found to be superior to BMI in characterizing body fat distribution and may support its use in assessing overweight adolescents with high cardio-metabolic risk.

The Tri-ponderal Mass Index is associated with adiposity in adolescent type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional analysis

Haifa Alfaraidi et al.

Summary: The study found that in pediatric T2DM patients, the tri-ponderal mass index (TMI) is associated with adiposity and components of the metabolic syndrome, and may be a more accurate measure of adiposity compared to BMI z-score.

Validity and accuracy of body fat prediction equations using anthropometrics measurements in adolescents

Wagner L. Ripka et al.

Summary: The study validated the newly developed RFM equation for %BF prediction in Southern Brazilian adolescents, and compared %BF estimation from BMI- and TMI-derived equations. Results showed that RFM underestimated %BF in boys and girls, TMI overestimated %BF in boys, and BMI had mixed results in both genders.
