Abstract
The large prospective Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study included 3596 participants aged 3 to 18 years at baseline, and followed the large majority up to 2030 years later. Comparing various measures of adiposity at baseline, Body Mass Index (BMI) outperformed the Triponderal Mass Index (TMI) and skinfold thicknesses in predicting later Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and LDL cholesterol levels, and carotid intimal thickness.
