The waist circumference measurement should be obligatorily performed during the routine check-up visits because some children with abdominal obesity do not fulfill the body weight or BMI obesity criterion. Children with positive family history of the cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, lipid disturbances or diabetes ought to be closely monitor for the blood pressure, blood lipids and glycemia abnormalities.
