AB  - OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to reveal a change in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome 
      (MS) in the province of Konya in five years. METHODS: We studied 202 obese 
      children and adolescents (body mass index >95th percentile) aged between 7 and 18 
      years. The diagnosis of impaired glucose tolerance, type 2 diabetes mellitus 
      (T2DM), and MS were defined according to the modified World Health Organization 
      criteria adapted for children. RESULTS: MS was found in 56.4 % with a 
      significantly higher rate among adolescents aged 12-18 years (63.2%) than among 
      prepubertal children aged 7-11 years (47%) (p=0.01). The prevalence figures for 
      insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and T2DM were 60, 8, and 2% among 
      prepubertal children and 81.8, 12.8, and 0% among adolescents, respectively. The 
      prevalence of fasting hyperinsulinemia in adolescents was significantly higher 
      than in prepubertal children (p<0.001). Hypertension was significantly more 
      common in adolescents (42.8%) than in prepubertal children (32.9%) (p=0.04). 
      CONCLUSIONS: We found that the incidence of MS in the city center of Konya 
      approximately doubled in the last five years with increased rates of morbidity 
      and abnormal lipid profiles.
