Aims: Therefore, despite the two important components of metabolic syndrome and its high in adolescents, this study aims to determine the prevalence of some components. Metabolic syndrome (abdominal obesity and hypertension) in primary school children in Tabriz was designed to have an intervention program for both children and adolescents in this study, and the first effective steps in the prevention and treatment of this. Remove the components of the metabolic syndrome.
Instrument & Methods: This prospective descriptive study was conducted in 2019 with the participation of 500 children under 7 years old who were referred to health centers in Tabriz. Blood pressure, height, weight, and indicators of metabolic syndrome were measured for all children, and the prevalence of this syndrome was measured based on body mass index.
Findings: 50 (10%) of the study participants had metabolic syndrome. Participants in the study were divided into two groups based on whether or not they had metabolic syndrome, and the relevant indicators were compared. Based on this classification, it was found that there are statistically significant differences between the waist ratio and metabolic syndrome as well as body mass index and metabolic syndrome between the two groups; based on the results of the study, it was found that body mass index in people with metabolic syndrome was significantly higher than people without metabolic syndrome (p=0.005).
Conclusion: Two important components of metabolic syndrome (abdominal obesity and obesity) are relatively common in Tabriz children under 7 years of age.
