Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Objective: To evaluate the association between inadequate body composition and sociodemographic factors in adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 627 adolescent boys and girls aged 14 to 17 years old from a town with a low/medium human development index. Sociodemographic (gender, age, socioeconomic level, and area of residence) and anthropometric data (body weight, height, waist circumference, and thickness of five skinfolds) were collected. The Canadian Physical Activity, Fitness and Lifestyle Appraisal was applied to analyze inadequate body composition. Results: The prevalence of inadequate body composition was 24.1%. Inadequate indices of adiposity were more prevalent among adolescent males (PR 3.16; 95%CI 1.72-5.82)from high/medium socioeconomic strata (PR 2.44; 95%CI 1.55-3.85), whereas the age of 14-15 years old was a protective factor against inadequate body composition (PR 0.58; 95%CI 0.37-0.90) compared to older ages (16-17 years old). Conclusions: Inadequate body composition was associated with gender, age and socioeconomic level. Interventions should consider the sociodemographic characteristics of the target population.
