Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, obez adölesanlarda obezite gelişimine katkıda bulunan potansiyel risk faktörlerinin belirlenmesi ve pediatrik popülasyonda sıklığı giderek artan metabolik sendrom varlığının retrospektif olarak incelenmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2008-Ocak 2009 tarihleri arasında pediatrik endokrinoloji polikliniğinimizde ekzojen obezite tanısıyla takip edilen 238 adölesan olgunun dosyaları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Metabolik sendrom tanısı IDF’in 2007’de çocuk ve adölesanlar için tanımladığı kriterler kullanılarak konuldu.Bulgular: Pediatrik endokrinoloji polikliniğinimizde ekzojen obezite tanısıyla takip edilen olguların yaş ortalaması 12.45±1.79 yıl, ortalama BKİ düzeyi 28.4±3.17 kg/m² olup 124’ü kız (% 52.1) ve 114’ü erkek (%47.9 )’di. Anne sütü alma süresi azaldıkça BKİ belirgin olarak artmaktaydı. Olguların %90’ında obezitenin 11 yaşından önce başladığı görüldü. Çalışmamızda metabolik sendrom sıklığı % 23.9 (%59.6 kız ,%40.4 erkek) olarak bulundu. Metabolik sendrom saptanan olgularda, abdominal obeziteye en sık eşlik eden bileşen, trigliserid yüksekliği ve HDL düşüklüğüydü.Sonuç: Tüm dünyada olduğu gibi ülkemizde de obezite ve beraberinde metabolik sendrom sıklığı alarm verici düzeyde artmaktadır. Bu nedenle sağlıklı nesillerin yetişmesi adına çocukluk çağı obezitesi öncelikle pediatristler olmak üzere tüm hekimler tarafından ciddiye alınmalı ve mümkünse önlenmelidir.
Objective: Our aim in this retrospective study was to evaluate potential risk factors that characterize obesity progression in obese adolescents and also the existence of metabolic syndrome that has an increasing frequency especially among the pediatric population.Material and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated a total of 238 adolescents who were followed after being diagnosed with exogenous obesity at the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology of our hospital between January 2008 and January 2009. The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was made using the child and adolescent criteria of IDF-2007.Results: 238 obese adolescents (52.1% female, 47.9% male) with an average age of 12.45 ± 1.79 years and a BMI of 28.4± 3.17 kg/m² were evaluated at our hospitals’ Department of Pediatric Endocrinology. The BMI increased significantly with decreased duration of breastfeeding. Obesity was found to start before 11 years of age in 90% of the cases. The metabolic syndrome frequency was 23.9% in our study. Among the subjects (59.6% girls and 40.4% boys), the most frequently accompanying components of abdominal obesity were high levels of triglyceride and low levels of HDL. conclusion: The frequency of obesity and the accompanying metabolic syndrome are increasing at an alarming rate in our country as reported from around the world. Pediatric obesity should therefore be taken seriously and prevented if possible by all the physicians and especially by pediatricians in order to maintain public health and ensure healthy future generations

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
