Key result
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome among Korean adolescents aged 12 to 18 years did not change significantly from 1.7% in 2007 to 2.2% in 2018, despite significant increases in abdominal obesity and hyperglycemia.
Absolute Event Rate: 2.2% vs 1.7%
Stable metabolic syndrome prevalence despite rising obesity and glucose components warrants ongoing risk-factor surveillance in Korean adolescents; leaves open drivers of trends and long-term outcomes.
See the article "Trends and Risk Factors of Metabolic Syndrome among Korean Adolescents, 2007 to 2018" in Volume 45 on page 880.
