Sex differences in the association between waist circumference and physical fitness index among Tajik adolescents in the Pamir Mountains of Xinjiang, China: an observational study
The association between WC and PFI in Tajik adolescents showed an inverted "U" curve, with no sex difference. It is recommended that the WC of Tajik adolescents should be controlled between 60 and 61 cm to maintain better PFI levels. The study provides support and reference for educational policy-making and public health prevention in the Pamir Plateau in Xinjiang, China.
