INTRODUCTION: Although it has been suggested that overweight and @entity28 @entity1 have an increased risk of @entity174 , recent studies in post-menopausal @entity1 have shown that the relationship between @entity28 and @entity174 risk varies by @entity174 site. We therefore assessed whether adiposity and overweight/ @entity28 prevalence differed by @entity3140 site in @entity1 . METHODS: Height, weight, BMI, triceps and subscapular @entity121 ( @entity121 ) were measured in @entity1 aged 3-18 years with an acute @entity3140 . Data was compared across three @entity174 sites (hand, forearm and upper arm/shoulder [UA]), and to published reference data. RESULTS: 401 @entity1 (67.1% male, median age 11.71 years, range 3.54-17.27 years) participated. 34.2%, 50.6% and 15.2% had @entity174 of the hand, forearm and UA, respectively. @entity1 with @entity174 had higher weight, BMI, subscapular @entity121 and fat percentage z-scores than those with UA @entity174 (p<0.05 for all). @entity121 and fat percentage z-scores were also higher in @entity1 with @entity174 compared to hand @entity174 , but @entity1 with hand and UA @entity174 did not differ. Overweight and @entity28 prevalence was higher in @entity1 with @entity174 (37.6%) than those with UA @entity174 (19.0%, p=0.009). This prevalence was also higher than the published United Kingdom population prevalence (27.9%, p=0.003), whereas that of @entity1 with either UA (p=0.13) or hand @entity174 (29.1%, p=0.76) did not differ. These differences in anthropometry and overweight/ @entity28 prevalence by @entity174 site were evident in @entity1 , but not present in @entity1 . CONCLUSION: Measurements of adiposity and the prevalence of overweight/ @entity28 differ by @entity174 site in @entity1 , and in particular @entity1 , with @entity3140 .
