Article Synopsis
- Metabolic syndrome (MetS) can start in childhood and is linked to non-communicable diseases in adults, with unclear evidence about the role of vitamin D deficiency in its development in kids.
- A study involving 2,596 students in Iran found that 10.6% were vitamin D deficient and 60.5% were insufficient. Those deficient in vitamin D had significantly higher chances of having MetS and its components like abdominal obesity and high blood sugar.
- The research suggests that low vitamin D levels are related to higher risks of MetS in children, highlighting the need for prevention efforts to control vitamin D deficiency to reduce future health risks.
