Risk related cardiovascular changes in metabolically healthy obese adolescents

Conclusions Prognostic capability of pediatric metabolic syndrome criteria is pretty low due to its sensitivity. Therefore obese adolescents not met diagnostic level for metabolic syndrome by IDF criteria could be falsely excluded from the cardiovascular risk group. Thus, it is not possible to assert an existence of absolutely healthy metabolic profile in obese and more sensitive markers are necessary for the metabolically healthy obesity identification.
