“…In recent years, reference cards have begun to be created in the field of pediatric endocrinology, which takes into account height in addition to age and gender in some diseases. For example, it is recommended to use specific references for age, gender and height in definitions of pediatric metabolic syndrome and hypertension (18,19). In our study, it was determined that the interpretation of goiter differed significantly according to the evaluation method in individuals.…”

“…Abdominal circumference, for example, has shown a strong correlation with hypertension and intraabdominal adiposity and is used to define metabolic syndrome [82]. The waist-to-height [83] and waist-to-hip ratios [84] also correlate with cardiovascular risk, providing insight on the disposition of both somatic adipose tissue as well as the proportion between somatic and perivisceral fat. Central obesity in children, defined in the current literature as WHtR ≥ 0.5, was correlated with poorer dietary habits when compared to their peers without central obesity [60].…”

Causative Mechanisms of Childhood and Adolescent Obesity Leading to Adult Cardiometabolic Disease: A Literature Review

The past few decades have shown a worrisome increase in the prevalence of obesity and its related illnesses. This increasing burden has a noteworthy impact on overall worldwide mortality and morbidity, with significant economic implications as well. The same trend is apparent regarding pediatric obesity. This is a particularly concerning aspect when considering the well-established link between cardiovascular disease and obesity, and the fact that childhood obesity frequently leads to adult obesity. Moreover, most obese adults have a history of excess weight starting in childhood. In addition, given the cumulative character of both time and severity of exposure to obesity as a risk factor for associated diseases, the repercussions of obesity prevalence and related morbidity could be exponential in time. The purpose of this review is to outline key aspects regarding the current knowledge on childhood and adolescent obesity as a cardiometabolic risk factor, as well as the most common etiological pathways involved in the development of weight excess and associated cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

“…Main components include hypertension, dyslipidemia, central obesity and hyperglycemia. 9 The prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome varies from less than 10% to more than 84% according to different environmental and genetic variables. [10][11][12] In the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome, free fatty acids result in an inflammatory condition by secretion of TNF-α and IL-1.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate metabolic syndrome prevalence in patients with Alopecia Areata compared to controls. Sixty eligible patients with Alopecia Areata and 60 healthy subjects frequency matched for age and sex attending to our referral dermatology clinics from 2015 to 2017 were enrolled. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components were compared between the two groups. Metabolic syndrome was only seen in seven patients (11.67%) and four controls (6.67%) without a significant difference (P = .34). The clinical presentations of AA included patch type (38.33%), ophiasis (6.67%), alopecia totalis (16.67%), and alopecia universalis (38.33%). Presence of metabolic syndrome was significantly associated with abdominal circumference (OR: 1.10, 95% CI for OR: 1.02to 1.19). Although there was no significant association between Alopecia Areata and metabolic syndrome, some components of metabolic syndrome were more prevalent in these patients. It may be concluded Alopecia Areata patients are at a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome in the future. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed.
