AB  - OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome risk factors (MSRF) 
      and examine the relationship between body mass index and the prevalence of >or=3 
      MSRF in 8- to 11- and 12- to 14-year-old age groups. STUDY DESIGN: Combined 1999 
      to 2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data were analyzed (N = 
      1698). Prevalence of normal weight, at-risk for overweight, and overweight were 
      determined. Prevalence of >or=3 MSRF (abnormal waist circumference, glucose, HDL 
      cholesterol, triglyceride, systolic and diastolic blood pressure) were reported 
      using (1) an age, sex, and ethnicity-adjusted and (2) a crude profile (no 
      adjustments). RESULTS: Among overweight 8- to 11-year-old children, 6.5% (95% CI, 
      3.82 to 10.86) had >or=3 MSRF using the crude profile and 9.51% (95% CI 5.59 to 
      15.71) using the adjusted profile. Among overweight 12- to 14-year-olds, 43.76% 
      (95% CI, 33.27 to 54.85) had >or=3 MSRF using the crude profile and 26.28% (95% 
      CI, 16.71 to 38.78) using the adjusted profile. CONCLUSIONS: A substantial number 
      of overweight 8- to 14-year-olds have >or=3 MSRF, indicating that overweight in 
      early adolescence may put children at risk for adult-onset cardiovascular disease 
      and/or type 2 diabetes well before they become teenagers.
