Prevalence of dyslipidemia and predictive value of anthropometric indicators among children and adolescents in the Tibetan Plateau

Children and adolescents in the Tibetan Plateau demonstrate a high prevalence of dyslipidemia, particularly among Han Chinese students, girls and junior high school students. Low HDL-C emerged as the primary dyslipidemia phenotype. Most anthropometric indices demonstrated limited diagnostic capability for dyslipidemia among plateau children and adolescents, with only BMI, SST, MUAC, MaHtR, and RFM showing weak yet promising diagnostic value.
