Abstract :

Aim: Present study was conducted to determine the prevalence Met-S components and itsâ�?�? determinants in higher secondary schools. Methods: Through a multistage sampling method 328 adolescents (age 17.41�?±1.48 years, M�?±SD) were included from higher secondary schools. Met-S Component was diagnosed using IDF, modified ATPIII and WHO criteria. Results: â�?TG (13.7%) found according to IDF, ATPIII and WHO followed by â�? HDL-C (70.1%) in IDF and ATPIII and 36.9% in WHO. Abdominal obesity (8.5%) was found in IDF and ATPIII, â�? FBG (5%) found in IDF and ATPIII though (0.6%) as per WHO. 7.3% subjects had the combination of â�?WC with â�? HDL-C and 11.3% had â�?TG with â�? HDL-C in IDF. According to IDF and ATPIII female increased the risk of HDL-C (OR 3.51; 95%) in WHO; current smoker (OR 0.40; 95%) and family history of hyper-lipidemia (OR 2.59; 95%) enhanced it too. Female gender also increased the risk of abdominal obesity (OR 3.49; 95%) and W: H ratio (OR 3.56; 95%) in IDF, ATPIII and WHO. Conclusion: Among the components of Met-S â�?TG, â�? HDL-C are more prevalent. Prevalence of abdominal obesity is high in IDF and ATPIII. Female gender, current smoking habit and family history of hyper-lipidemia are the most important determinants for the development of the components of Met-S.
