Fat distribution is well recognized as a cardiovascular risk factor in adults. The association between android fat distribution and cardiovascular risk factors, such as blood pressure (BP), was previously reported in an African-American and Caucasian pediatric population. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between BP and body fat distribution in a large cross-sectional pediatric sample. The effects of race, sex, and puberty on this relationship were assessed.
