AB  - OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence of components of the metabolic syndrome (MS) 
      other than hyperglycemia at diagnosis in schoolchildren with type 2 diabetes 
      mellitus (T2DM). DESIGN: The study involved 112 Japanese schoolchildren, 45 males 
      and 67 females aged 12.9 +/- 1.5 yr, who were diagnosed as having T2DM. The body 
      weight, blood pressure and fasting serum triglyceride (TG), and high-density 
      lipoprotein cholesterol cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were also measured at 
      diagnosis. The criteria adopted for the diagnosis of MS were as follows; i.e., TG 
      > or =150 mg/dL, HDL-C <40 mg/dL, systolic blood pressure > or =130 mmHg, and/or 
      diastolic blood pressure > or =85 mmHg. Obesity was defined as percent overweight 
      > or =20.0%. RESULTS: As much as 83.0% of the patients had obesity. The 
      prevalence of increased TG was 33.0% and that of decreased HDL-C was 21.4% among 
      the patients. Elevated blood pressure was identified in 11.6% of the patients. Of 
      the total, 15.2% of the patients had no other components of MS besides 
      hyperglycemia; 49.1% had only one other component, which was obesity in the 
      majority; 17.0% had two other components of MS besides hyperglycemia, which were 
      obesity and elevated TG in the majority; 18.8% of the patients had three or more 
      components of MS besides hyperglycemia. CONCLUSIONS: We found a high prevalence 
      of other components of MS besides hyperglycemia in the patients even at the time 
      of diagnosis. Early detection of other components of MS would appear to be of 
      importance for preventing the development of cardiovascular disease in children 
      with T2DM.
