| Abstract: | Waist:height has been proposed as an indicator of cardiovascular risk. We investigated the association of waist:height with systolic BP (sBP) in 3 year old children. Body mass index was a significant predictor of sBP, whereas waist:height was not: suggesting waist:height is not a useful indicator of sBP in this age group. |
