• Findings indicate a notable association between urban settings and increased cardiometabolic issues during adolescence.
• Observational analysis from the PARIS birth cohort reveals health risks associated with urbanity at critical developmental stages.
• These results highlight the necessity for expanded research on environmental factors affecting long-term adolescent health.
