Abstract Objective: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death worldwide, including in Korea. In adults, the risk for CVD is increased approximately three-fold in subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS), and the hazard ratio for subjects with MetS has been reported as 1.37 for mortality from CVD after adjustment for other confounders. Furthermore, MetS in childhood predicts adult MetS and T2DM 25 to 30 years later. Because MetS is a state of chronic low-grade inflammation, measurements of the circulating levels of the inflammatory molecules might provide diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to modulate or alter disease progression. High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), a biomarker of inflammation, has emerged as an independent predictor of CVD and T2DM development. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the association between hsCRP and MetS and its components in Korean children and adolescents. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2016–2017. We analyzed the data of 1,247 subjects (633 males, 14.2 ± 2.7 years) from the KNHANES 2016–2017. MetS were defined by the modified NCEP-ATP III criteria. Results: Among the 1,247 subjects (mean age: 14.2 ± 2.7 years), the prevalence of MetS was 5.8% (7.0% in male subjects and 4.6% in female subjects; p = 0.070). The mean hsCRP level was 0.861 ± 1.567 mg/l (median and interquartile range: 0.370 and 0.430mg/l). Subjects with MetS had higher hsCRP levels than subjects without MetS (geometric mean: 1.08 vs. 0.46 mg/l, p < 0.001). The prevalence of MetS in the lowest, second, third, and highest hsCRP quartiles were 1.8%, 2.4%, 3.5%, and 15.2%, respectively. Compared to the lowest quartile, the odds ratio (OR) for having MetS in the highest quartile was 8.414 (3.272–21.638), adjusting for age and sex. The OR for having abdominal obesity and low HDL-C in the highest quartile were 9.657 (4.818–19.355) and 2.408 (1.286–4.510), adjusting for age, sex, and other components of the MetS. Additionally, the OR for having pre-diabetes (HbA1c ≥ 5.7%) in the highest quartile was 2.061 (1.097–3.870). Conclusion: Serum hsCRP level is positively associated with MetS and pre-diabetes in Korean children and adolescents.

Abstract This study aimed to investigate whether obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are associated with pulmonary function in Korean children and adolescents. Data from the 2009–2011 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey which is cross-sectional, nationwide, and representative survey were used. Adjusted regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association of obesity and MetS with lung function in children and adolescents. A total of 763 children and adolescents aged 10–18 years were evaluated. We found no significant difference in FEV1% predicted, FVC% predicted, and FEV1/FVC ratio among the obesity groups. Subjects with MetS showed a significantly lower FEV1 predicted (91.54 ± 0.74% vs 94.64 ± 0.73%, P = 0.004), lower FVC% predicted (91.86 ± 0.63% vs 95.20 ± 0.63%, P < 0.001), and lower FEV1/FVC ratio (76.76 ± 0.43% vs 80.13 ± 0.43%, P < 0.001) than those without MetS. Elevated waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were independently associated with lower FEV1/FVC ratio (all P < 0.05, respectively). Among MetS components, increased WC was the most important factor influencing lower FEV1/FVC ratio. In conclusion, lung function in MetS patients was significantly lower, and the MetS component was independently associated.

Unhealthy dietary patterns are associated with obesity in children and adolescents. However, few studies have investigated the relationships between dietary patterns and obesity-related metabolic disorders among Asians. We identified dietary patterns in children and adolescents and examined the associations between these patterns and obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome in South Korea. This study is a cross-sectional design. We used baseline data from an intervention study of 435 Korean children and adolescents aged 6–17 years. Insulin resistance was assessed as HOMA-IR ≥ 2.6. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed by cardiovascular disease risk factor clustering. Dietary intakes were estimated using 3-day food records. Factor analysis was used to obtain dietary patterns, and we examined the associations between dietary patterns and obesity-related markers adjusted for potential covariates. Three dietary patterns were identified as fast food and soda (FFS), white rice and kimchi (WRK), and oil and seasoned vegetable (OSV) patterns. Compared with participants in the lower intake of FFS pattern, those in the top intake were associated with a higher waist circumference (WC) (β = 1.55), insulin level (β = 1.25), and body mass index (BMI) (β = 0.53) and it was positively associated with HOMA-IR ≥ 2.6 (OR = 2.11; 95% CI: 1.227–3.638) (p < 0.05). WRK pattern was associated with lower weight and higher HDL cholesterol, and the OSV pattern was associated with a lower weight, WC, and insulin level (p < 0.05). The FFS pattern showed a positive relation with WC, serum insulin, and BMI, and the other two dietary patterns indicated a preventive effect of those parameters. The FFS pattern was associated with significantly elevated insulin resistance among children and adolescents.

Abstract Background: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adults is increasing worldwide. The change of cardiovascular structure associated with metabolic syndrome appears from childhood, it is crucial to detect MetS early, and control associated risk factors to protect future health. Methods: We used data of children and adolescents (8,718 subjects aged 10-18) from the National Health and Nutrition Survey IV-VII (KNHANES 2007-2018) to estimate the recent prevalence of MetS, and identify related nutritional factors. The definition of MetS used modified NCEP-ATP III and IDF criteria. Results: The prevalence of MetS among Korean adolescents in 2007-2018 was 4.6% using the modified NCEP-ATP III criteria, and the trend of MetS increased significantly (P trend=0.02). In the overweight and obese groups, the risk of MetS increased 7.079 (95% CI, 5.188-9.793) and 27.131 (95% CI, 20.896-35.240) compared to the normal-weight group. During KNHANES IV-VII, overall caloric intake increased, carbohydrate and sodium intake decreased, but fat intake increased (KNHANE-IV; 21.3% to VII; 24.0%, P &lt;0.001). These fat intakes were significantly correlated with an increase in systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and waist circumference. Conclusion: The prevalence of MetS is also increasing in Korean adolescents, and changes in dietary habits are related. In the future, it is also necessary to study the relationship with lifestyle.
