Figures & data

Figure 1 Mean score for the Rehearsal Scale for Children-Chinese for boys and girls categorized as “at risk” and “not at risk”.

Table 1 Mean Rehearsal Scale for Children-Chinese scores at T1 and T2, waist circumference, and body mass index for boys and girls categorized as “at risk” and “not at risk”

Group		Mean RSC-C score	WC (cm)	BMI (kg/m^2)
At risk	Boys	T1 32.57 (8.91)	64.93 (6.98)	18.88 (3.23)
		T2 32.46 (8.45)
	Girls	T1 28.11 (5.91)	63.61 (5.76)	19.49 (2.90)
		T2 29.74 (6.18)
Not at risk	Boys	T1 29.57 (7.13)	53.48 (3.49)	15.97 (1.33)
		T2 28.69 (6.52)
	Girls	T1 28.02 (6.41)	52.11 (3.46)	15.37 (1.43)
		T2 28.04 (5.43)

Notes: Values are means and (standard deviation). “At risk” and “not at risk” groups are based on age-specific and gender-specific WC cutoffs for at least three cardiovascular risk factors in Chinese children.⁹

Abbreviations: T1, time one; T2, time two; BMI, body mass index; RSC-C, Mean Rehearsal Scale for Children-Chinese; WC, waist circumference.
