Methods: this was a cross-sectional study conducted in the pediatric outpatient service. The groups with and without DHGNA were compared regarding anthropometric, biochemical, and metabolic syndrome components of SM. SM or test alterations that are diagnostic criteria for SM were evaluated for association with DHGNA. Results: 59 obese subjects were evaluated; 25.4% presented DHGNA.
