“…According to our results, the prevalence rates of MetS among Korean children aged 10–18 years were 5.7% and 2.1%, based on the modified NCEP-ATP III and IDF criteria, respectively. These results were similar to the reported prevalence rates of MetS among children in previous advanced studies [6,10,11,12,13,14,15]; however, it is difficult to directly compare our findings with those of earlier studies because studies conducted prior to 2008 used different criteria. We note that in a previous study based on the modified NCEP-ATP III criteria, the MetS prevalence in Korea was found to decrease from 7.6% in 1998 to 3.8% in 2008 [6].…”

“…For example, Morrison et al (2008) reported that children with MetS have a two-fold or three-fold higher prevalence of diabetes, which leads to increased risks of non-insulin-dependent diabetes and cardiovascular disease in adulthood [3,4,5]. Therefore, the early diagnosis and management of children with MetS are very important with regard to public health [6,7,8]. …”

“…In Korean studies of children, the prevalence rates of MetS according to the modified NCEP-ATP III [6,11,12,13] and IDF criteria [10,13,14,15] ranged from 3.8% to 9.7% and from 1.0% to 4.2%, respectively.…”

“…According to reports, the prevalence of MetS is decreasing among Korean children [6,10,13]. Yoon [13] reported that the prevalence of MetS in children tended to increase from 1998 to 2001, but later decreased from 2005 to 2007, whereas Lee et al [6] reported that the prevalence of pediatric MetS decreased between 1998 and 2008.…”

In both adults and children, metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been attributed to risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease such as insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. This descriptive study aimed to compare the prevalence of MetS and diagnostic components according to the National Cholesterol Education Program, Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2330 Korean adolescents (10–18 years), using data from the 2010–2012 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey-V. The NCEP-ATP III and IDF were used to diagnose MetS and yielded prevalence rates of 5.7% and 2.1%, respectively, with no sex-related differences. The most frequent MetS diagnostic components according to the NCEP-ATP III and IDF criteria were high triglyceride levels (21.2%) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (13.6%), respectively; approximately 50.1% and 33.1% of adolescents had at least one MetS diagnostic component according to the respective criteria. Both overweight/obese male and female adolescents exhibited significantly increased prevalence rates of MetS and related diagnostic components, compared to normal-weight adolescents. In conclusion, the prevalence rates of MetS and diagnostic components differ according to the NCEP-ATP III and IDF criteria. Henceforth, efforts are needed to establish diagnostic criteria for Korean adolescents.

Purpose: This study examined the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in South Korean children and adolescents by gender and age and analyzed gender-specific factors associated with MetS.Methods: This study used data on children aged 10~18 from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) from 2010 to 2015. Analyses included descriptive statistics, the independent t-test, the x2 test, and univariate logistic regression analysis (p<.050).Results: The prevalence of MetS was 4.8% in boys and 3.4% in girls. The prevalence was higher in girls up to the age of 12, but higher in boys who were 13 or older. Abdominal obesity was frequent in girls, whereas low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and elevated blood pressure were more common in boys. Higher body mass index, waist-to-height ratio, waist circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL-C, perceived "fat" body shape, and weight loss efforts were associated with MetS in both genders. Increasing age, having one meal per day, and weight maintenance were associated factors unique to boys. Fasting plasma glucose, familial medical history of low HDL-C, and perceived "thin" body shape were associated factors in girls.Conclusion: Gender and age differences should be considered in the risk assessment and prevention of MetS.
