| Sumario: | Introduction and Objective: The Metabolic Syndrome (MS) in adolescents has been studied because of its strong relationship with the development of cardiovascular diseases. The objective of the study was to evaluate the presence of the metabolic syndrome or pre-metabolic syndrome (pre-MS) in adolescents. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study, developed with adolescents enrolled in a Social Center in the South of Minas Gerais, in the year 2015. Demographic data, anthropometric data, blood pressure and biochemical tests (fasting glycemia and lipid profile) were collected. Results: A total of 40 adolescents were evaluated, 21 (52.5%) males, with a mean age of 11.6 ± 1.2 years. Only one adolescent (2.5%) presented the syndrome and six (15%) presented pre-SM, that is, the presence of two components of the syndrome. In pre-MS adolescents, higher values of BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides and Tygindex were observed, as well as lower values of HDL-c (p<0.05). The mean BMI values (20.55 ± 3.56 kg / m² vs. 17.82 ± 2.28 kg / m², p=0.005) were higher among adolescents with low HDL-c. Conclusion: Low prevalence of MS was observed, but 15% of adolescents presented pre-SM. The most prevalent risk factors were low HDL-c and high waist circumference. |
