Results: Adolescents were classified according to their BMI as T (15%), NW (63%), OW (13%), and O (9%). Compared to NW, increased values of WC, BP (p< 0.001), and glucose (p< 0.01) were noted in OW and O groups. Total cholesterol (TC) level was elevated in O adolescents (p< 0.01). Increased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in OW (p< 0.05) and O (p< 0.01), and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations were noted in both OW and O groups (p< 0.05), compared to NW. Elevated triglyceride (TG) values and TG: HDL-C ratio were observed in OW (p< 0.05) and O (p< 0.01). High values of uric acid were noted in OW and O adolescents (p< 0.01). Compared to NW, there was no significant difference in IL-1 whereas IL-6 was elevated in T (p< 0.05), OW (p< 0.01) and O (p< 0.001). Leptin, TNF-, and CRP concentrations were significantly increased (p< 0.001), whereas adiponectin values were decreased in both OW and O groups (p< 0.01), compared to NW.

Conclusions: Significant associations were noted between WC, BP, dyslipidemia, inflammation markers, and BMI, indicating that both OW and O adolescents have a tendency to present metabolic syndrome risk factors.
