| Core Tip |
This study examined the independent associations of aerobic fitness (AF), the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), and the visceral adiposity index (VAI) with resting blood pressure (BP), a key indicator of cardiovascular health. Adolescents with lower AF and elevated AIP and VAI were at an increased risk of HTN. Low fitness, dyslipidemia, and excessive visceral adipose tissue were independently associated with HTN risk. Notably, VAI exhibited a stronger association in girls, while fitness had greater impact in boys. Health promotion efforts should prioritize a balanced diet and regular endurance-based physical activity to support optimal BP levels in adolescents. |
