摘要
Background: Childhood obesity has become a serious public health threat worldwide due to its many short-and long-term adverse health effects. We assessed the association between weight status and metabolic co-morbidities among South Korean children using nationally representative data. %26lt;br%26gt;Methods: Data from the 2007-2008 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys for 1,526 children aged 10-19 years were used. Logistic regression models were fit to examine the association between weight status [ overweight, 85th percentile %26lt;= BMI %26lt; 95th percentile; obese, BMI %26gt;= 95th percentile; and central obesity, waist circumference %26gt;= 90th percentile, based on 2007 Korean National Growth Charts] and metabolic outcomes. %26lt;br%26gt;Results: More obese children had metabolic co-morbidities than normal-weight children (P %26lt; 0.05). Boys had higher means BMI than girls, WC, and BP, while girls had higher means of total blood cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol (P %26lt; 0.05). Attributable risk of metabolic syndrome was high due to overweight and obesity: 91.1% for central obesity and 29.6% for high TG. Obese children had increased risk of having high BP (adjusted odds ratio (OR): 1.90; 95% CI: 1.05-3.45), dyslipidemia (OR: 6.21; 95% CI: 3.59-10.75), high TG (OR: 6.87; 95% CI: 4.05-11.64), low HDL (OR: 4.46; 95% CI: 2.23-8.89), and %26gt;= 2 co-morbidities (OR: 26.97; 95% CI: 14.95-48.65) compared to normal-weight subjects, while the associations between weight status and metabolic outcomes were stronger in boys. %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusions: Obesity was strongly associated with metabolic co-morbidities in South Korean children.
