Giriş ve Amaç: Polikliniğimize başvuran obez çocuk ve adölesanlarda metabolik sendrom (MS) sıklığının araştırılmasıdır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ekzojen obezite tanısı alan ve oral glukoz tolerans testi uygulanan 6-18 yaş arası 92 çocuk ve adölesan çalışmaya alındı. Hastaların dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi. NCEP/ATP III ve DSÖ tarafından erişkinler için tanımlanan MS kriterleri çocukluk çağı referans değerleri ile değiştirildi. Üç veya daha fazla kriter taşıyanlar MS olarak kabul edildi.Bulgular: 30 (%32) hastada MS tespit edildi. MS’i olanların 18’inde insülin rezistansı (IR), altısında bozulmuş açlık glukozu, dokuzunda bozulmuş glukoz intoleransı, ikisinde diyabet vardı. Dislipidemisi olan 27 MS’li hastanın 12’sinde hipertrigliseridemi, ikisinde HDL-C düşüklüğü, dokuzunda hipertrigliseridemi ve HDL-C düşüklüğü, üçünde hipertrigliseridemi ve LDL-C yüksekliği, birinde sadece LDL-C yüksekliği saptandı. 12 hastada sistolik, 10 hastada diyastolik hipertansiyon vardı. 21 MS’li hastanın 10’unda USG ile hepatosteatoz saptandı.Sonuç: Obez çocuk ve adölesanlarda MS sıklığı oldukça yüksektir. Bu hastalar ileride diyabet ve kardiyovasküler hastalık gelişimi açısından hipertansiyon, dislipidemi, IR ve/veya diyabet gibi birden fazla risk faktörü taşımaktadırlar.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in obese children and adolescents who presented at our endocrine clinic.Material and Methods: We included 92 children and adolescents between the ages of 6-18 who underwent a standard dose of oral glucose tolerance test with a diagnosis of exogenous obesity. Their medical records were analyzed retrospectively. We modified the criteria of metabolic syndrome (MS) for adults defined by the NCEP/ATP III and WHO with the pediatric age reference values. MS was diagnosed in those with three or more criteria.Results: 30 (32%) patients were diagnosed with MS. Among these patients with MS, we determined insulin resistance (IR) in 18, impaired fasting glucose in 6, impaired glucose tolerance in 9 and diabetes in 2 patients. Hypertriglyceridemia was found in 12 of 27 dyslipidemic MS patients, low HDL-C in two, hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-C in nine, and hypertriglyceridemia and LDL-C elevation in three patients. LDL-C elevation was detected only in one patient. There was systolic hypertension in 12 patients. Ten patients had diastolic hypertension. Hepatosteatosis was determined by USG in 10 of 21 patients with MS.conclusion: Obese children have a high prevalence of MS. These patients possess multiple risk factors for the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the future such as hypertension, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance

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 6 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.
