  1. Upper table B1: Blood pressure in mm Hg; TRG, HDL, GLU in mgdl−1.
  2. Lower table B2: Blood pressure in kPa; TRG, HDL, GLU in mmoll−1.
  3. The tables can only be used for an approximation because blood pressure cut-offs are not only depending on age but also on height.
  4. aBlood pressure percentiles are given for median height; WC: waist circumference (cm); SBP: systolic blood pressure (mm Hg); DBP; diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg); TRG: triglycerides (mgdl−1); HDL: HDL cholesterol (mgdl−1); HOMA: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; GLU: fasting glucose (mgdl−1).
