m±SE
Metabolic syndrome defined using age- and sex-specific percentile-based cut-off definition commonly used in previous reports (23, 24) values of at least 90th percentile for waist circumference, systolic or diastolic blood pressure, and triglycerides (25) and no higher than 10th percentile for HDL cholesterol, and a fasting glucose value of at least 100 mg/dL was used to indicate impaired fasting glucose. Metabolic syndrome was considered present when a child met the cut-points for at least three of these factors.
