Resum
[eng] Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in Spanish children from three different cohorts, according to the definition by Ahrens et al. (2014) (IDEFICS study, action level). Additionally, it analyzed the components of MetS in each cohort to evaluate their impact on MetS prevalence across pediatric populations. Study design: The study comprised 2,411 participants aged between 3 and 18 years from three Spanish cities: Santiago de Compostela (N = 1,497), Zaragoza (N = 396), and Córdoba (N = 518). In all cohorts, recruited from hospital settings, anthropometric and biochemical data were collected and analyzed to determine the prevalence of MetS and to compare among cohorts. Results: MetS prevalence was notably high in children with obesity across all cohorts (Córdoba: 91.3%; Santiago de Compostela: 92.7%; Zaragoza: 86.8%). Additionally, MetS prevalence increased with pubertal development, rising from 11.3% in prepubertal children to 37.5% in pubertal children in the Córdoba cohort. The same trend was observed in the Santiago and Zaragoza cohorts. Regarding socioeconomic status, Córdoba had the highest proportion of families with low parental education (45.0%) compared to Santiago (11.6%) and Zaragoza (5.8%). Conclusion: In conclusion, significant regional, pubertal, and socioeconomic differences highlight the influence of biological and contextual factors on metabolic risk, emphasizing the urgent need to develop unified consensus guidelines for pediatric MetS.
