Abstract
Presence and risk factors of metabolic syndrome determinants in indian obese children and adolescents: according to national cholesterol education program (ncep) (atpiii) criteria
Highlights
The metabolic syndrome (MS) is a cluster of glucose intolerance, central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and is associated with a higher incidence of metabolic risk factors events in adult life and mortality
Several competing definitions of metabolic syndrome are in use and each is differently linked to body mass index (BMI)
These definitions include that of the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel Third (ATP III) (Grundy et al 2005), the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) (Alberti et al.2006) and the Institute for clinical system improvement (ICSI)
Summary
The metabolic syndrome (MS) is a cluster of glucose intolerance, central obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and is associated with a higher incidence of metabolic risk factors events in adult life and mortality. Obesity plays a potential impact on many metabolic related diseases. Several competing definitions of metabolic syndrome are in use and each is differently linked to BMI (percentile or z-score). These definitions include that of the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel Third (ATP III) (Grundy et al 2005), the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) (Alberti et al.2006) and the Institute for clinical system improvement (ICSI). The ICSI definition requires the BMI plus any two other metabolic traits. NCEP ATP III and IDF definitions require at least three metabolic including BMI (percentile). In studies of ATP III metabolic syndrome, as
