However, no study has assessed the association between clustering of multiple CV risk factors and left ventricular geometric (LVG) remodeling. We examined the association between clustering of CV risk factors and LVG remodeling among Chinese children.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This cross-sectional study included 1,406 children aged 6\u201311 years. Clustering of CV risk factors was quantified as the sum of the number of five CV risk factors (abdominal obesity, elevated blood pressure, high fasting blood glucose, high triglycerides and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol). Based on left ventricular mass index and relative wall thickness (RWT), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), high RWT and LVG remodeling [concentric remodeling (CR), eccentric hypertrophy (EH) and concentric hypertrophy (CH)] were defined.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared to participants without CV risk factor, those with 1, 2 and \u22653 risk factors were at increased risk of LVH [ORs (95% CIs): 3.49 (2.19\u20135.56), 5.53 (3.20\u20139.55), and 19.19 (9.67\u201338.08), respectively]; corresponding values for high RWT were 2.47 (1.63\u20133.74), 3.76 (2.25\u20136.27), and 5.47 (2.65\u201311.28). Similar associations between clustering of CV risk factors and LVG remodeling were found [CR: 1.71 (1.06\u20132.76), 2.83 (1.54\u20135.18), and 3.82 (1.37\u201310.62); EH: 2.42 (1.42\u20134.11), 4.23
