The aim of this study was to investigate the association between nutritional status and prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in middle-school students in the city of Montes Claros - MG. The sample consisted of 382 students, aged 10-16 years. Nutritional status was evaluated using the Body Mass Index (BMI). Metabolic syndrome (MS) was defined as the presence of two or more criteria in accordance with definition of the International Diabetes Federation. The overall prevalence of MS was 7.9%. 9.7% of students with MS were overweight and 72.4% were obese. Therefore, it can be inferred that carrying excess weight considerably increases the chances for a child to develop MS, and concomitantly increases the child's risk for developing cardiovascular disease.
本研究旨在探讨米纳斯吉拉斯州蒙蒂斯克拉鲁斯市中学生营养状况与代谢综合征（MS）患病率之间的关系。该样本由 382 名年龄在 10-16 岁的学生组成。营养状况采用体重指数（BMI）进行评估。代谢综合征（MS）根据国际糖尿病联合会的定义，定义为存在两个或多个标准。MS 的总体患病率为 7.9%。患有 MS 的学生中，9.7%超重，72.4%肥胖。因此，可以推断出超重会大大增加儿童患 MS 的几率，并同时增加儿童患心血管疾病的风险。
