Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome and Metabolic Abnormalities in Korea Children and Adolescents and Nutrient intakes: Using 2008 the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (original) (raw)

Table 1 Modified NCEP/ATP III Definition of Metabolic Syndrome for Children and Adolescents

  1. WC: Waist circumference

  2. HDL-cholesterol: High density lipoprotein cholesterol

Table 2 Age, anthropometric measurements, and biochemical indices of the subjects

  1. p-value by t-test

  2. Mean ± SD

  3. WC: Waist circumference, 4) SBP: Systolic blood pressure, 5) DBP: Diastolic blood pressure, 6) TG: Triglycerides, 7) HDL-C: High density lipoprotein cholesterol, 8) FPG: Fasting plasma glucose

  2. Unweighted frequency (Estimated %)

Table 5 Prevalence of individual metabolic abnormalities by obesity

  1. Normal: 5 - 85th percentiles of BMI for age in Korean growth chart

  2. Overweight: 85 - 95th percentiles of BMI for age in Korean growth chart

  3. Obesity: above the 95th percentiles of BMI for age in Korean growth chart or BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2

Table 7 The mean energy and nutrient intake by groups

  1. Group 1: This group is composed of children and adolescents (46) with Metabolic Syndrome

  2. Group 2: This group has been configured identically to Group 1 in age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) but without Metabolic Syndrome

  3. Group 3: This group has been configured identically to Group 1 in sex and age but with normal body mass index (BMI) and without Metabolic Syndrome

  4. p-values by one-way ANOVA

  5. Mean ± SD
