[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of forward head posture on ankle joint range of motion and static balance. [Subjects] The study subjects were on 51 healthy undergraduates (22 males and 29 females) who had not experienced cervical or shoulder pains, or hospital diagnosis of musculoskeletal dysfunction in the previous four weeks. [Methods] The cranial vertical angle (CVA) was measured to investigate forward head posture, and the Tetrax Portable Multiple System (Tetrax Ltd, 56 Miryam Ramat Gan, Sunlight, Israil) was used to measure static balance using the stability test index (STI). Distal dualer-IQ (JTECH Medical, USA) was used to measure ankle joint range of motion. [Results] Cranial vertical angle had an influence on ankle joint plantarflexion, but no influence on static balance. [Conclusion] Forward head posture was shown to transmit tension to the ankle joint through the superficial back-line, one of the myofascial meridians connected to the fascia, which suggests that tension in the neck muscles influence the ankle joints.

Triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-C), triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), and non-HDL cholesterol level (non-HDL-C) have been proposed as surrogate markers for predicting metabolic syndrome (MetS). This study investigated whether these lipid-derived surrogate markers can predict MetS in Korean children and adolescents. Data from 1,814 participants were analyzed from the 2013-2016 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. MetS was defined using three sets of criteria: Cook et al. (MetS1), de Ferranti et al. (MetS2), and the International Diabetes Federation (MetS3). The prevalence of MetS1, MetS2, and MetS3 was 4.6%, 11.3%, and 2.7%, respectively. In receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of MetS and lipid-derived surrogate markers, TG/HDL-C (0.937 for MetS1, 0.894 for MetS2, and 0.897 for MetS3) had the largest area under the curve (AUC), followed by TyG (0.906 for MetS1, 0.864 for MetS2, and 0.887 for MetS3), and non-HDL-C (0.752 for MetS1, 0.708 for MetS2, and 0.703 for MetS3) (all P < 0.001). The cutoff values for detecting MetS with TG/HDL-C, TyG, and non-HDL-C were 2.64, 8.52, and 111.6 for MetS1; 2.23, 8.47, and 110.7 for MetS2; and 2.64, 8.74, and 110.8 for MetS3, respectively. In conclusion, TG/HDL-C and TyG were similarly predictive of MetS. We propose using TG/HDL-C and TyG as surrogate markers for assessing MetS in Korean children and adolescents.
