Accuracy of Tri-ponderal Mass Index and Body Mass Index in Estimating Insulin Resistance Hyperlipidemia Impaired Liver Enzymes or Thyroid Hormone Function and Vitamin D Levels in Children and Adolescents

摘要

Tri-ponderal mass index (TMI) has been reported to estimate body fat more accurately than body mass index (BMI). This study aimed to compare the efficacy of TMI and BMI in predicting insulin resistance (IR), hyperlipidemia, impaired liver enzymes or thyroid hormone function and vitamin D concentration.
