Children with a high cluster score are at risk for development of the metabolic syndrome as they mature into adulthood. Adults with the metabolic syndrome are at risk for producing offspring with high cluster scores. Youth with high cluster scores and adults with metabolic syndrome are at increased risk of progressing to overt cardiometabolic disease.

*Z scores based on age group-specific norms

†HDL z-scores were assigned a negative value because a higher HDL is associated with lower risk, in contrast to all other components in which the opposite is true.
