Objective: To investigate vitamin D status and its association with components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adolescent girls attending high school in Boukan, Iran during winter 2012. Design: A cross-sectional study. Setting: High schools of Boukan city, Iran. Subjects: A sample of 216 girls aged 14-17 years was selected by multistage random sampling from four districts of Boukan. Weight, height, waist circumference, blood pressure, daily energy intake, physical activity and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), fasting blood glucose, TAG and HDL-cholesterol levels of all participants were evaluated. Serum 25(OH)D level ,20 ng/ml was defined as vitamin D deficiency. Results: Mean serum 25(OH)D was 7?26 (SD 2?81) ng/ml and 96 % of the participants had vitamin D deficiency. According to age-modified definitions of the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III, MetS was diagnosed in 10?6 % of the participants. In multivariable regression analysis after adjustment for BMI, energy intake and physical activity level, serum 25(OH)D was inversely associated with fasting blood glucose (b 5 20?143, P 5 0?04). No significant relationship was found between serum 25(OH)D and other components of MetS. Conclusions: The high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency warrants national polices and interventions towards improving this major health problem among adolescent girls. Low 25(OH)D level was significantly associated with increased fasting blood glucose. Prospective studies are needed to determine the effects of vitamin D deficiency on the development of MetS and related metabolic diseases in adolescent girls. Keywords Vitamin D Prevalence Metabolic syndrome Adolescent girlsVitamin D deficiency is a major public health problem and an unrecognizable condition of epidemic proportions in both developed and developing countries, with widespread reports of 30-93 % prevalence in children and adults (1)(2)(3) . Determination of vitamin D status in different age groups in a community and in different climates of a country is necessary and has important implications for general health. Recent studies suggest that vitamin D deficiency is no longer just a problem of the older generations but also is an important health concern among younger generations (4) . Studies in the last two decades have shown a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in healthy adolescents in different countries (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) . In Iran, Razzaghy-Azar and Shakiba and Moussavi et al. reported that 67 % of female children and adolescents in Tehran and 72?1 % of teenage girls in Isfahan had vitamin D deficiency, with higher rates of deficiency in girls than boys (16,17) . Vitamin D is known as the 'sunshine vitamin' because the mean exposure to sunlight should be sufficient for most people to produce their own vitamin D using UV light and cholesterol in the skin (18) . Whenever sun exposure is insufficient, dietary intake of this vitamin becomes a necessity. However, there are few dietary sources of vitamin D...

“…Overweight and obesity were defined as BMI ˃ 85 th and ˃ 95 th percentile with respect to age and sex of CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) curves, respectively (14). WC of more than 90 th percentile for age and sex according to national references was considered as central obesity (15,16). Nutritional knowledge was assessed using a questionnaire consisting of 14 questions.…”

Background: Obesity is one of the main risk factors of chronic diseases in adults. Children obesity is related to adulthood obesity. Some studies indicate that there is an association between unhealthy food habits and obesity. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the association between obesity, unhealthy food habits, and nutritional knowledge of primary school children. Patients and Methods:This cross-sectional survey was carried out to study obesity, unhealthy food habits, nutritional knowledge and measuring weight, height and waist circumference of 221 grade 4 students, selected by cluster sampling in primary schools of Shiraz, southern Iran. Also a questionnaire about their nutritional knowledge, socioeconomic status, and frequency of food consumption was filled out for each of them. The statistical analysis of data was performed using SPSS version 19. Results: Mean ± standard deviation of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) were 18.50 ± 4.99 (kg/m 2 ) and 63.17 ± 8.12 (cm), respectively. The prevalence of obesity, overweight, and central obesity were 14.97%, 15.45%, 38.3%, respectively. Intake of dairy (1.67 ± 1.12 serving/d) and fruits with vegetables (3.09 ± 1.93 serving/wk) were significantly less than the recommended amounts (P ˂ 0.001). The respective frequency of fast food and sweets consumption were 2.37 ± 2.30 (serving/wk) and 18.54 ± 12.42 (serving/wk). Students with better nutritional knowledge had higher BMI and WC and showed no differences in food intakes but fast foods. Moreover, there were no significant differences in food habits among the normal, overweight, and obese students. Conclusions:The results of our study indicated that high prevalence of obesity among children in fourth grade of primary schools in Shiraz was not the result of unhealthy food habits, but may be affected more by total energy intake or inactivity. Also, it seems that parents' concerns about the health status of their obese children have led to better nutritional knowledge of their youngsters.

“…In this study MetS in adolescents was defined, based on a modified definition of de Ferranti [12], as having at least 3 of the following components: Fasting plasma glucose concentration ≥ 110 mg/dL, fasting serum triglycerides≥ 100 mg/dL, HDL-C< 45 mg/dL for boys, aged 15-19 years and <50 mg/dL for others; WC≥ 75th percentile for the age and sex of Iranian population (based on the CASPIAN study) [13]; systolic and diastolic blood pressure> 90th percentile for age, sex, and height based on the recommendations of National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Since WC percentiles for Iranian populations have been reported only up to the age of 18 years for individuals aged > 18, high WC was considered based on the criteria of Iranian adults (> 95cm in both sexes) [14].…”

Background and aim. This study was conducted to investigate the association of consumption of nuts and dried fruits with the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components adolescents. Material and Methods. In this crosssectional study was conducted in 785 adolescents, aged 10-19 y, participated in the fourth phase of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. Demographics, anthropometrics and biochemical measurements were evaluated. MetS and its components were defined based on a modified definition of de Ferranti. Usual dietary intakes were assessed using a validated semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. Dried fruits and nuts were included dried figs, raisins, dried berries, peanuts, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, hazelnuts and seeds. To determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in quartiles of dried fruits and nuts consumption, logistic regression models adjusted for confounding variables were used. Results. Mean age and body mass index of participants (47% male) was 14.8±2.9 years, and 22.1 ± 4.7 kg/m2, respectively. The prevalence of MetS was 22.2% (girls: 19.5% and boys: 25.2%). In the highest compared to lowest quartile of nuts and dried fruits, the prevalence of lipid disorders, abdominal obesity and MetS was non-significantly lower. Serum triglycerides significantly decreased across increasing consumption of nuts and dried fruits (P<0.05). After adjustment for confounding variables, the odds of MetS in the highest compared to the lowest quartile of nuts and dried fruits were 0.65 (95% CI: 0.4-1.1). Conclusion. Increased consumption of nuts and dried fruits could have favorable effect in prevention of metabolic syndrome and its components.
