Abstract
Pediatric obesity is an emerging global burden for society among its health related consequences, there are hypertension (HTN) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Several anthropometric indices have been investigated for the early identification of cardiovascular risk in children. The aim of the present study was to assess whether tri-ponderal mass index (TMI) was associated with LVH in a cohort of obese Caucasian children and adolescents.
