Metabolic syndrome in children has become the focus of many research projects in recent years. The main goal of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Thai children and its correlation with overweight and obesity.
A cross-sectional study of 348 children enrolled in grade 1 to grade 9 was done in Ongkhaluck province in Thailand. Demographic and anthropometric data were gathered. Blood tests were also performed to check for blood glucose, total cholesterol, and triglycerides.
The overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome in our population was 4.0%. Metabolic syndrome was found in 0.7% of non-obese/non-overweight children and 17.6% of obese/overweight children. Participants with metabolic syndrome were found to be significantly older, heavier, and taller and to have higher parameters of adiposity when compared with those without metabolic syndrome. Obesity was significantly correlated with every criterion of diagnosis of metabolic syndrome except Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG).
Findings of this study suggest that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in Thai children is consistent with other reports from across the world.
近年来,儿童代谢综合征已成为众多研究项目的焦点。本研究的主要目的是评估泰国儿童代谢综合征的患病率及其与超重和肥胖的相关性。
在泰国翁卡鲁克省对348名1至9年级的儿童进行了横断面研究。收集了人口统计学和人体测量数据。还进行了血液检测以检查血糖、总胆固醇和甘油三酯。
我们研究人群中代谢综合征的总体患病率为4.0%。在非肥胖/非超重儿童中,代谢综合征的患病率为0.7%,在肥胖/超重儿童中为17.6%。与无代谢综合征的参与者相比,患有代谢综合征的参与者年龄更大、体重更重、身高更高,且肥胖参数更高。除空腹血糖受损(IFG)外,肥胖与代谢综合征的各项诊断标准均显著相关。
本研究结果表明,泰国儿童代谢综合征的患病率与世界各地的其他报告一致。
