dc.description.abstract | The relationship of resistin levels with obesity remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine
resistin levels in prepubertal children and adolescents and evaluate their association with anthropometric
parameters and body composition. The study population included 420 randomly selected 6–8-year-old
children and 712 children aged 12–16 years. Anthropometric data were measured and body mass index
(BMI) and waist-to-hip and waist-to-height ratios were calculated. Body composition was assessed using
an impedance body composition analyzer. Serum resistin levels were determined using a multiplexed
bead immunoassay. Resistin levels were not significantly different between sexes. No significant differences in serum resistin concentrations were found between obese, overweight, and normal weight childrenat any age, andno significant correlations were observed betweenresistinconcentrations and weight
or BMI. However, resistin levels showed a significant positive correlation with fat mass in 12–16-year-old
children, particularly in girls. In addition to describing serum resistin levels in prepubertal children and
adolescents, our study suggests that resistin is related to body fat rather than to BMI in adolescents | |
