Examining Biomarkers for Dyslipidemia, Diabetes, and <scp>NAFLD</scp> by CDC's 2022 Extended <scp>BMI</scp> Percentiles in <scp>US</scp> Youth Aged 6–17 Years
Many US youth aged 6-17 with overweight and obesity had borderline or abnormal cardiometabolic biomarkers. Risks varied within obesity: higher extended BMIp were linked to a greater likelihood of borderline or abnormal lab values. Identifying extended BMIp thresholds tied to these risks could facilitate clinical practice, including identifying high-risk patients and informing escalation of care.
