Initial findings revealed a significant relationship between children's weight category and their reading\/language arts, mathematics, and science test scores even after controlling for a proxy of socioeconomic status. When additional cardiovascular risk and fitness measures were included in the model, however, children's BMI status had no association. Instead, a composite fitness index, children's blood pressure, sex, and proxy of socioeconomic status were significantly associated with children's academic test scores.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Discussion:<\/jats:italic> This study expanded our understanding of the connection between children's overweight risks and academic performance by examining the impact of other cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure and measures of fitness. These findings support the development and implementation of childhood cardiovascular risk surveillance programs that evaluate not only children's overweight risks but also their fitness, risk for type 2 diabetes, and\/or high blood pressure by showing a relationship between some of these risks and children's academic test performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2007.377","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,7,17]],"date-time":"2008-07-17T22:55:04Z","timestamp":1216335304000},"page":"3170-3177","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":63,"title":["The Extended Relationship between Child Cardiovascular Risks and Academic Performance Measures"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Lesley A.","family":"Cottrell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen","family":"Northrup","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Wittberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.289.1.76"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.288.14.1728"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1723","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.288.14.1723","article-title":"Prevalence and trends in obesity among US adults, 1999\u20132000","volume":"288","author":"Flegal K.
