Abstract

Debate continues on the limitations of using body mass index(BMI) to assign youth overweight/obesity status. Calculated asweight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, BMImight not be applicable in youth during periods of rapid growth.Although recent evidence has indicated that triponderal massindex (TMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by heightin meters cubed) might have better accuracy in estimating youthbody fat levels than BMI, its clinical importance in estimatingadulthood outcomes has not been examined. Therefore, we assessed whether youth TMI and its combination with BMI orsubscapular skin fold thickness (SST), compared with BMI alone, havebetter utility in estimating adult obesity-related outcomes.
