The Metabolic Syndrome (in both children and adults)
Dyslipidemia
Elevated blood pressure
Dysregulated glucose homeostasis
Abdominal obesity and/or
Insulin resistance
Substantial evidence on the predictive value of childhood MetS and increased risk of:
MetS,
type 2 diabetes,
surrogates of cardiovascular disease such as carotid intima-media thickness in adulthood
The median prevalence of MetS:
In whole populations: 3.3% (range 0%-19.2%)
In overweight children: 11.9% (range 2.8%-29.3%)
In obese children :29.2% (range 10%-66%)
It has been shown using several longitudinal cohorts that meeting the criteria of the metabolic syndrome in childhood predicts the development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in adulthood. Similarly, having specific components of the syndrome in childhood predicts the presence of “softer” outcomes such as left ventricular hypertrophy or increased intimal-medial thickness in childhood and adulthood
