TI  - Relationship Between Abdominal Adiposity and Exercise Tolerance in Children With 
      Obesity.
PG  - 386-391
AB  - PURPOSE: To determine whether abdominal obesity is associated with lower exercise 
      tolerance in children. METHODS: Waist-to-height ratios (WHtRs) were determined 
      for 50 children aged 8 to 12 years with body mass index greater than the 95th 
      percentile and 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) conducted. RESULTS: Mean 6MWD was 
      found to be 510 (standard deviation = 60) m. Univariate analysis revealed that 
      WHtR was the only significant predictor of 6MWD (P = .01). In modeling using 
      multiple regression analysis, 26% of the variance in 6MWD could be attributed to 
      the participant's age, WHtR, and sex; WHtR was the only significant contributor 
      to 6MWD (P = .001). CONCLUSION: WHtR was the most strongly correlated factor with 
      distance achieved on the 6-minute walk test, a measure of exercise tolerance, and 
      is an important measure to screen for cardiovascular disease risk and to prompt 
      further evaluation of functional exercise capacity.
