Key result
Circulating betatrophin levels correlate with BMI, SBP, and FBG in healthy teenagers.
Why the study?
Metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus are rising concerns in youth, and boarding schools may foster metabolic disease due to daily dietary intake.
Do circulating betatrophin and GAD65 levels correlate with metabolic syndrome and diabetes risk factors in healthy teenagers?

Betatrophin may mark metabolic risk in teens; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Observational (n=90)
Do circulating betatrophin and GAD65 levels correlate with metabolic syndrome and diabetes risk factors in healthy teenagers?
p-value: p=<0.05
Betatrophin and GAD65 show promise as potential biomarkers for screening metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus risk in teenagers.
Susanto et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus risk (n=90). Circulating betatrophin levels was evaluated on Correlation with BMI, systolic blood pressure, and fasting blood glucose (p=<0.05). Circulating betatrophin levels significantly correlated with BMI, systolic blood pressure, and fasting blood glucose in healthy boarding school teenagers (p < 0.05).
