Table 4.
Clustering of metabolic risk factors in obese and normal-weight children
| Metabolic Syndrome Risk Components | Overweight/obese (N = 209) n (%) |
Normal-weight (N = 193) n (%) |
OR (95%CI)a |
|---|---|---|---|
| No risk factor | 25 (12.0) | 162 (83.9) | 1.0 |
| 1 risk factor | 114 (54.5) | 27 (14.0) | 27.4 (15.1, 49.6)** |
| 2 risk factors | 59 (28.2) | 4 (2.1) | 95.6 (31.9, 286.2)** |
| 3 risk factors | 8 (3.8) | 0 (0)b | 0 (0.0, 0.1) |
| 4 risk factors | 3 (1.4) | 0 (0) b | 0 (0.0, 0.2) |
a OR calculated from logistic regression test by using enter method
b OR was calculated by adding 0.5 into the cell with 0 value
