Abdominal obesity, metabolic dysfunction, and metabolic syndrome in U.S. adolescents: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The objectives were to use National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data to (1) estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk factors (elevated blood pressure, triglycerides, blood glucose, and low HDL cholesterol); (2) estimate the prevalence of MetS using three common definitions; and (3) compare the odds of MetS risk factors/MetS when using different measures of abdominal obesity (sagittal abdominal diameter [SAD] versus waist circumference [WC]) among U.S. adolescents.

Methods

Analyses were performed on data collected from adolescents aged 12-19 years (n = 1214) participating in the 2011-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Prevalence of MetS risk factors and MetS were estimated. Unadjusted and adjusted binomial/multinomial l
