Independent association of clustered metabolic risk factors with cardiorespiratory fitness in youth aged 11–17 years

Although the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) has increased in youth, the potential independent contribution of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) to the clustering of metabolic risk factors has received relatively little attention.This study evaluated associations between the clustering of metabolic risk factors and CRF in a sample of youth.Height, weight, BMI, fasting glucose, insulin, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressures...
