AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to describe the prevalence of metabolic syndrome 
      (MetS) in adolescents of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) and to identify components of 
      cardiovascular risk clusters. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a 
      representative sample of 693 high-school students 13 to 16 years old in 2007. 
      MetS was defined according to five different definitions: the Pediatric 
      International Diabetes Federation, the Adult Treatment Panel III, and the 
      modified definitions by Cook, Weiss, and De Ferranti. Principal components 
      analysis (PCA) was carried out to cluster risk factors. RESULTS: The prevalence 
      of MetS was high and varied from 3.9% to 12.5%, depending on the criteria used. 
      High levels of triglycerides (or low High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol) and 
      high blood pressure were the most prevalent components of MetS, while impaired 
      glucose tolerance was the least prevalent. PCA showed three factors in boys 
      (obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia) that cumulatively explained 64.3%, and four 
      factors in females (obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia) that 
      accounted for 73.6% of the observed variance of MetS. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence 
      of MetS in HCMC adolescents was high. Obesity accounts for the maximum variance 
      in clustering and appears to be a more powerful correlate of cardiovascular risk 
      than other variables.
