Metabolic syndrome (MS) is common among children and adolescents. Age-and gender-
specific references or age-, gender-and height-specific references were used in pediatric …

Background This study evaluated the feasibility and accuracy of the height-corrected
definition for identifying metabolic syndrome (MS). Methods In 2006, anthropometric and …

Background We aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of selected anthropometric
indicators as predictors of cardiovascular risk in adolescents. Methods Cross-sectional study …

Aim: To determine the predictive value of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference
(WC) and their optimal cut‐off points for metabolic syndrome (MetS), and also the incidence …

With this review, we aim to focus the attention on some established as well as new concepts
for the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in children and adolescents spanning from definition to …

Objectives: To assess the implications of variation in Metabolic Syndrome (MS) definition
(biochemical and anthropometric indicators) on MS prevalence estimates in a population of …

Body mass index (BMI), usually used as a body fatness marker, does not accurately
discriminate between amounts of lean and fat mass, crucial factors in determining metabolic …

Objective Body mass index (BMI) and tri-ponderal mass index (TMI) are anthropometric
measures to evaluate body adiposity in the various age groups. The present study aims to …

Objective. To identify the degree of association between anthropometric indices and
components of metabolic syndrome (MS) and to determine optimal cut‐off points of these …

Pediatrics metabolic syndrome (MetS) may be associated with the risk of development of
chronic diseases in adulthood; however, the definition of pediatric MetS is unclear, and may …
