Trajectories in waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio with left ventricular hypertrophy in childhood
We found the risk of LVH was not fully eliminated among children with a decreasing WHtR trajectory. These findings underscore the need for early prevention and continuous monitoring of WC and WHtR to help prevent future sub-clinical cardiovascular damage in childhood.
