Aim: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases even in adolescents. The evidence that MetS is associated with the periodontal diseases in adolescents has been understudied. Therefore, our aim was to assess the association between MetS parameters and gingivitis in adolescents.
Material And Methods: A total of 941 participants (590 boys, 351 girls), aged 12-18 years was selected from the Fourth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a cross-sectional and nationally representative survey, which had had information on waist circumference, blood pressure, serum triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and the fasting blood sugar and community periodontal Index (CPI).
Results: The number of positive parameters of MetS showed significant positive correlation with gingivitis; adjusted and crude ORs with one positive parameters of MetS were 1.92 (95% CI: 1.21-3.04) and 1.88(95% CI: 1.28-2.76), respectively. And adjusted OR with three or more positive parameters of MetS was 3.29 (95% CI: 1.24-8.71). Among five parameters of MetS, Low HDL-cholesterol showed significant association with gingivitis (crude OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.20-3.73; adjusted OR 1.96, 95% CI 1.24-3.12).
Conclusions: Having more positive parameters of MetS and low HDL-cholesterol parameter had an independent relationship with the prevalence of gingivitis, which may be determinants for the future periodontal diseases even in adolescents.

Objective: The left atrial stiffness index (LASI) holds significance in the atrioventricular coupling function and heart failure progression. To assess left atrial function and evaluate the relationship between LASI and exercise capacity in hypertension-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HT-HFpEF).
Methods: The study involved 62 healthy subjects and 163 patients with HT (112 patients in simple HT group and 51 patients in HT-HFpEF group).

Aim: Irisin, a newly discovered adipomyokine, has pleiotropic effects in metabolic and energy homeostasis, insulin resistance (IR), and browning of white adipose tissue. The aim of this study was to evaluate irisin levels in children with obesity and also to elucidate possible relationships between irisin with anthropometric obesity indices, parameters of metabolic syndrome (MetS), and intima media thickness (IMT).
Methods: A total of 77 prepubertal children, 4-12 years old, were enrolled in this study, including 44 children with obesity (BMI ≥ 95th percentile) and 33 normal weight controls of matched age and gender.

Renal sinus fat (RSF) crucially influences metabolic regulation, inflammation, and vascular function. We investigated the association between RSF accumulation, metabolic disorders, and nutritional status in obese individuals with hypertension. A cross-sectional study involved 51 obese hypertensive patients from Salamat Specialized Community Clinic (February-September 2022).

Background: The global prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in people living with HIV (PLWH) is on the rise in the post era of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Nevertheless, there are no validated predictive models available for assessing the risk of MetS in this specific population.
Methods: This study included PLWH who participated in annual follow-ups at Southern Medical University Nanfang Hospital from September 2022 to November 2023.

Aim Of The Study: The new term "metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease" (MASLD) focuses on the bidirectional interplay between fatty liver and metabolic dysregulation. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum concentrations of uric acid (UA) in overweight/obese children and adolescents and to determine the association of this parameter with MASLD and metabolic dysregulation.
Material And Methods: One hundred and ninety-four overweight/obese children with suspected liver disease were included in the study.
