Article Synopsis
- The study aims to determine the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MS) in children aged 4-7 and establish a reliable cutoff point for assessing MS risk due to the lack of consistent international definitions.
- Conducted with 402 children, the research evaluated MS risk factors through a continuous score derived from factors like waist circumference, HDL, triglycerides, blood pressure, and blood sugar using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve analysis.
- Results showed a direct correlation between the number of risk factors and MS scores, with specific cutoff scores identified for accurately predicting MS risk in younger children, demonstrating the score's high sensitivity and reasonable specificity.
This study aimed at determining the dietary patterns and investigating their association with cardiometabolic risk markers in a brazilian population at risk. This transversal study was carried out with data of 265 patients ( = 123 M/172 W, age 42 ± 16 years) of the Cardiovascular Health Care Program-PROCARDIO-UFV, Brazil-who had their first appointment between 2012 and 2017. A 24-hour recall was applied.
