Overview

Cross-sectional study evaluates inflammatory indices predicting metabolic syndrome in obese children, suggesting early detection methods.

Key Points

This study aims to assess the role of inflammatory indices derived from blood counts as predictors of metabolic syndrome in obese children and adolescents.
Conducted a cross-sectional study among children aged 5-17.9 years with obesity.
Classified participants into metabolic syndrome and non-metabolic syndrome groups.
Stratified participants by pubertal stage into prepubertal, pubertal, and postpubertal groups.
Found 28.2% of participants had metabolic syndrome.
Individuals with metabolic syndrome exhibited higher body mass index, waist circumference, and blood pressure compared to non-MetS.
Identified inflammatory markers like neutrophil-to-HDL-C ratio as elevated in the MetS group, correlating with cardiometabolic factors.
