| Abstract |
The objective was to evaluate the conicity index (C Index) as a predictor of changes in the lipid profile of adolescents and to establish its cutoff points. This was a cross-sectional study in 774 adolescents of both sexes (55% girls), 10 to 14 years of age. C Index was calculated according to the formula proposed by Valdez, considering body mass, height, and waist circumference (WC). Changes in the adolescents' lipid profile were defined according to one of the following conditions: elevated levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides and low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). The predictive power of the conicity index for altered lipid profile and its cutoff points were determined by Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves. The C Index was a good predictor of lipid alterations in adolescents, emphasizing triglycerides in boys 10 to 11 years of age (ROC = 0.67; 95%CI: 0.50-0.85) and 12 to 14 (ROC = 0.69; 95%CI: 0.59-0.80), and in girls 10 to 11 years (ROC = 0.65; 95%CI: 0.50-0.79); and LDL in girls 10 to 11 years (ROC = 0.70; 95%CI: 0.59-0.80) and boys (ROC = 0.65; 95%CI: 0.55-0.75) and girls (ROC = 0.62; 95%CI: 0.50-0.75) 12 to 14 years. The cutoff points for the C Index varied from 1.12 to 1.16 between boys and girls. The C Index can be used to predict lipid alterations, and its cutoff points can be used to screen adolescents for risk of alterations in lipid profile. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 July 2017.
All research outputs
#20,660,571
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Cadernos de Saúde Pública
#1,381
of 1,854 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#249,011
of 324,220 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cadernos de Saúde Pública
#21
of 38 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,854 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.2. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 324,220 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 38 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
