Abstract
Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents is increasing, in parallel with the increasing trends in obesity rates. Varying definitions of this syndrome have hindered the development of a consensus for the diagnostic criteria in the pediatric population. So how to diagnose it in children? How it affects their health and future? How to prevent it? All these points will be discussed through my presentation.
