Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı obez adölesan grupta obezite gelişiminde rol oynayan potansiyel risk faktörlerini ve pediatrik yaş grubunda giderek artan sıklıkta görülen metabolik sendromun varlığını araştırmaktır.Materyal ve Metod: Mart 2004 - Aralık 2005 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde ekzojen obezite tanısıyla takip edilen adölesan olgularda cinsiyet, gestasyon yaşı, doğum kilosu, anne sütü alma süresi, anne ve babada obezite varlığı, vücut kitle indeksleri (VKİ) ve obezite başlama yaşı sorgulandı ve metabolik sendrom kriterleri araştırıldı. Metabolik sendrom tanısı Cruz ve Goran'ın 111. Ulusal Sağlık ve Beslenme Araştırması'nda elde edilen verilerde önerdiği değerler kullanılarak konuldu.Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 12.91 ± 2.45 yıl, ortalama VKİ düzeyi 32.35 ± 5.11 kg/m' olanı 5'i kız (% 48.4) ve 16'sı erkek(% 51.6) toplam 31 obez adölesan incelendi. Kızlar ile erkeklerin VKİ düzeyleri arasında; gestasyon yaşına göre doğum kilosu özellikleri ve anne sütü alma süresine göre olguların VKİ düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmadı (p>0.05). Anne ve babasında birlikte obez olan ve olmayan çocukların VKİ düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmadı (p>0.05). Annenin VKİ düzeyleri ile çocuğun VKİ düzeyleri arasında ise anlamlı korelasyon saptandı (p<0.01 ). Bel çevresi ile VKİ düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir korelasyon mevcuttu (p<0.05). VKİ arttıkça kan basıncı da buna parallel olarak yükselmekte idi (p<0.05). Olgularımızın %54.B'inde metabolik sendrom parametreleri bulundu. Olguların % 32.2'sinde total kolesterol, % 32.2'sinde trigliserit düzeyi yüksekliği ve% 25.B'inde HDL düzeyi düşüklüğü saptandı.Olguların %25.B'inde glukoz intoleransı saptandı. Glukoz intoleransı ile VKİ düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki mevcuttu (p<0.01 ). Homeostasis model assessment insulin direnci (HOMA-IR) indeksine göre insülin direnci %93.5'inde 2'nin üzerindeydi. VKİ düzeyleri ile stria varlığı arasında da pozitif istatistiki bir korelasyon vardı. Olguların %64.5'sinde akantozis nigrikans mevcuttu.Sonuçlar: Erişkinlerde olduğu gibi çocuklarda da obezite sıklığındaki artışa paralel olarak metabolik sendrom gibi tip 2 diyabet öncesi klinik tabloların da sıklığı artmaktadır. Bu nedenle çocuk ve çocuk endokrinolojisi polikliniklerine başvuran başta adölesanlar olmak üzere obez çocukların, metabolik sendrom kriterleri ve kardiyovasküler risk faktörleri bakımından incelenmesi önemlidir.
Aim: in our study, we aimed to investigate the potential risk factors in development of obesity and
evaluate metabolic syndrome frequency in adolescent population.
Material And Methods: We investigated the adolescents with exogenous obesitywho admitted to
our clinic between March 2004- December 2005 in terms of gender, gestational age, birth weight,
duration of breast-feeding, prevalence of obesity in parents, body mass indices (BMI) of parents,
age at onset of obesity and components of metabolic syndrome. Diagnosis of metabolic syndrome
was made on the basis of threshold values that were defined by Cruz and Goran considering the
data from lllrd National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES).
Results:31 obese adolescents (48.4%female, 51.6% male) with the average age of 12.91 ± 2.45
years, and BMI 32.35 ± 5.11 kg/m' were investigated. There was no statistically significant
difference in terms of BMI between male and female adolescents (p>0.05). There was also no
correlation between birth weight, according to gestational age duration of breast-feeding and
BMl's of hoth sexes (p>0.05). There was als no statistically significant difference in BMI of
adolescents who have both obese mother and father and who have not (p>0.05).However, there
was statistically significant correlation between BMl's of the mother and the child (p<0.01 ). There
was also statistically significant correlation between waist circumference and BMI (p<0.05). Blood
pressure increased in parallel whit BMI (p<0.05). The frequency of metabolic syndrome was
54.8%. Cholesterol levels were elevated in 32.2%, triglyceride levels were hing in 32.2% and HOL
levels were decreased in 25.8%. Glucose intolerance was detected in 25.8% of the cases. There
was significant correlation between glucose intolerance and BMI (p<0.01 ). According to
homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index, insulin resistance was >2 in
93.5% ofthe cases. There was statistically significant correlation between BMI and presence of stria
as well. 64.5% of the cases had acanthosis nigricans.
Conclusion: As in adults, with increasing frequency of obesity, the frequency of clinical pictures
related with type il diabetes, like metabolic syndrome also increases. Therefore, obese children
especially adolescents that ad mit to general pediatrics and endocrinology outpatient clinics must
be investigated in terms of metabolic syndrome criteria and familial risk factors.

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.
