The association of sagittal abdominal diameter with metabolic syndrome risk before and after weight-loss surgery in adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) affects ∼10% of U.S. adolescents. Abdominal obesity is the most prevalent component and may indicate MetS risk in adolescents undergoing weight loss surgery.

Objectives

Assess MetS risk/severity and its association with abdominal obesity (measured by sagittal abdominal diameter, SAD) before and after weight loss surgery in adolescents to determine whether SAD predicts MetS risk in this population.

Setting

Data were collected in the Teen Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (Teen-LABS) study at 5 sites (U.S. children's hospitals) performing weight-loss surgery in adolescents. The current study is a secondary analysis of these data.

Methods

We examined data collected presurgery through 5 years postsurgery. MetS risk/se
