Sex differences in adolescent adiponectin may inform metabolic risk assessment; leaves open causal links to pubertal cardiometabolic changes.

Population

335 children and adolescents (200 normal weight and 135 obese), age 3.4-17.9 years, body mass index -2.1 to +4.8 sd score.

Outcome

Adiponectin serum levels and their relationship with gender, pubertal development, and obesitysurrogate

Adiponectin levels decline during puberty in boys due to increasing androgens, and are lower in obese children where they correlate with parameters of the metabolic syndrome.
