Central adiposity is positively associated with leptin C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 levels and is inversely associated with adiponectin levels in adults. These findings are supported by few relevant studies in children.
- •
The present study aimed to establish cutoff points for waist circumference and trunk and visceral fat identifying increased likelihood of elevated inflammatory markers and adipokines in children.
- •
It was found that 67.5 cm for boys and 69.5 cm for girls for waist circumference, 17.75% for boys and 22.65% for girls for trunk fat mass percentage, and 3.95 for boys and 2.55 for girls for visceral fat rating were the cutoff values that indicated increased likelihood of elevated levels of C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and leptin and decreased levels of adiponectin.
