Background. To evaluate @entity2690 resistance of normal weight central obese 13-18-year-old male and female adolescents stratified by waist to height ratio (WHR). Methods. Data were obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (K-NHANES) conducted during 2008-2010. @entity1144 was defined as that in the upper quartile of age and sex specific WHR. Subjects were classified into no @entity1144 normal weight (NW), @entity1144 normal weight (CONW), no @entity1144 overweight (OW), and @entity1144 overweight (COOW). Results. The prevalence of CONW was 9.6% (83/832) in female and 7.0% (61/909) in male. CONW showed higher levels of @entity2690 (P < 0.006), HOMA-IR (P < 0.006), and ALT (P < 0.001) than NW in female. CONW had higher levels of @entity2690 (P < 0.0001), HOMA-IR (P < 0.0001), and WBC count (P < 0.021) and lower level of HDL (P < 0.0001) than NW in male. WHR and BMI had similar significant correlations with @entity15 components. CONW showed 2.5 times (95% confidence interval, 1.21-5.00) more likelihood to have high @entity2690 resistance than NW in male. Conclusions. Screening for @entity1144 using WHR in clinical setting is recommended.
