“…The prevalence of MetS is also considerably higher than a meta analysis ndings done in chinese children and adolescents, where 1.8% (IDF) and 2.6% (ATP III) were found to have MetS [135]. This implies that MetS is increasing throughout the world, including in LMICs and it is supported by the previous reviews [14,136,137].…”

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clustering of cardiovascular risk factors, which is raising the low and middle income countries (LMICs). There are various studies with inconsistent findings, but they are inconclusive for policy makers and program planners. Thus, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at estimating the pooled prevalence of MetS and its components in LMICs. Methods: Electronic searches were conducted in international databases including PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE (Elsevier), Scopus, CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Science direct (Elsevier), Food Science and Technology Abstracts (FSTA), Global Health and Medline, and other sources (World Cat, Google Scholar, and Google). The pooled estimates were computed in the random effect model. The pooled prevalence was computed using the three diagnostic methods (IDF, ATP III and de Ferranti). Publication bias was verified using funnel plot and Egger’s regression test. Subgroup and sensitivity analysis were performed to identify the possible sources of heterogeneity among the included studies. Result: In this study, 142,142 children and adolescents from 76 eligible articles were included to compute the pooled prevalence of MetS and its components in LMCIs. MeTs among the overweight and obese population was computed from 20 articles with the pooled prevalence of 24.09%, 36.5%, and 56.32% in IDF, ATP III and de Ferranti criteria, respectively. Similarly, a total of 56 articles were eligible to compute the pooled prevalence of MetS in the general population of children and adolescents. Hence, Mets was found in 3.98% (IDF), 6.71% (ATP III) and 8.91% (de Ferranti) of study subjects. Regarding the components of MetS, abdominal obesity was the major component in overweight and obese population and low HDL-C was the most common component in the general population. This study also revealed that males were highly affected by MetS than females. Conclusion: This study illustrates that MetS among children and adolescents is an emerging public health challenge in LMICs, where the prevalence of obesity is on the move. Preventive strategies such as community and school based intervention need to be designed. Promoting physical activities and healthy eating behaviors could avert this problem.

“…This demonstrates that patients with PKU and excess weight are substantially more susceptible to developing disorders associated with metabolic syndrome. [36][37][38][39][40] The present review identified a frequency of overweight ranging from 7.8 to 32.6% in studies including children and adolescents with PKU. This prevalence was lower than that previously found by White and Acosta, 11 considering that 68.5% of the evaluated children presented the outcome.…”

Objective: To verify the occurrence of overweight in children and adolescents with phenylketonuria and to identify possible causal factors.Data sources: A systematic review was performed in the SciELO, PubMed and VHL databases using the descriptors "Phenylketonurias", "Overweight", "Child" and "Adolescent". Original articles conducted with children and adolescents, published between 2008 and 2018 in Portuguese, English or Spanish languages were included.Data synthesis: A total of 16 articles were identified and, after screening procedures, 6 studies were selected for the review.Overweight in children and adolescents with phenylketonuria was a frequent occurence in the studies included in this review, ranging from 7.8 to 32.6%. The female sex was the most affected by the nutritional disorder. Furthermore, a high caloric intake combined with a lack of stimuli to practice physical activities were main factors associated with the excessive weight in the population of interest.Conclusions: Excess weight can be considered a common outcome in children and adolescents with phenylketonuria. It is mainly caused by inadequate food consumption and sedentary lifestyle.The importance of early identification of nutritional disturbances in children and adolescents with phenylketonuria should be emphasized, in order to prevent associated chronic diseases and to promote health by encouraging continued healthy eating habits and the regular practice of physical exercises.Objetivo: Verificar a ocorrência de excesso de peso em crianças e adolescentes com fenilcetonúria e identificar possíveis fatores causais. Fontes de dados: Revisão sistemática realizada nas bases de dados Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), Publisher Medline (PubMed) e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) com os descritores "Phenylketonurias", "Overweight", "Child" e "Adolescent". Foram incluídos artigos originais sobre crianças e adolescentes, publicados entre 2008 e 2018 nos idiomas português, inglês ou espanhol. Síntese dos dados: Foram identificados 16 artigos e, após aplicação dos procedimentos de seleção, 6 estudos foram selecionados para compor a revisão. O excesso de peso em crianças e adolescentes com fenilcetonúria foi evento frequente nos estudos incluídos na presente revisão, variando de 7,8 a 32,6%. Aponta-se o sexo feminino como o grupo mais acometido pelo distúrbio nutricional.O principal fator associado ao excesso de peso na população de interesse na população de interesse foi o consumo calórico elevado aliado à falta de estímulos para a prática de atividades físicas.Conclusões: O excesso de peso pode ser considerado um desfecho comum em crianças e adolescentes com fenilcetonúria, sendo ocasionado principalmente pelo consumo alimentar inadequado e pelo sedentarismo. Salienta-se a importância da identificação precoce de agravos nutricionais em crianças e adolescentes fenilcetonúricos, a fim de prevenir doenças crônicas associadas e promover a saúde, com incentivo à manutenção de hábitos alimentares saudáveis e à prática regular de exercícios fí...

“…Lifshitz estimated that 75% to 80% of adolescents with obesity will maintain or increase their level of obesity in adulthood . Rising rates of obesity in children have been accompanied by increasing rates of metabolic syndrome . Despite these prominent associations, little is known about how excess weight relates to body composition measures such as fat mass (FM) in children outside of population‐level estimates.…”

Objective This study aimed to explore the accuracy and precision of three‐dimensional optical (3DO) whole‐body scanning for automated anthropometry and estimating total and regional body composition. Methods Healthy children and adolescents (n = 181, ages 5‐17 years) were recruited for the Shape Up! Kids study. Each participant underwent whole‐body dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry and 3DO scans; multisite conventional tape measurements served as the anthropometric criterion measure. 3DO body shape was described using automated body circumference, length, and volume measures. 3DO estimates were compared with criterion measures using simple linear regression by the stepwise selection method. Results Of the 181 participants, 112 were used for the training set, 49 were used for the test set, and 20 were excluded for technical reasons. 3DO body composition estimates were strongly associated with dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry measures for percent body fat, fat mass, and fat‐free mass (R2: 0.83, 0.96, and 0.98, respectively). 3DO provided reliable measurements of fat mass (coefficient of variation, 3.30; root mean square error [RMSE], 0.53), fat‐free mass (coefficient of variation, 1.34; RMSE, 0.53 kg), and percent body fat (RMSE = 1.2%). Conclusions 3DO surface scanning provides accurate and precise anthropometric and body composition estimates in children and adolescents with high precision. 3DO is a safe, accessible, and practical method for evaluating body shape and composition in research and clinical settings.
