  1. Data are presented as means ± SD or median (interquartile range). P-values compare variables between children with and without metabolic syndrome(MS). #P < 0.05.
  2. WC = waist circumference; BMI = body mass index; SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; TG = triglycerides; HDL-C = high-density cholesterol; FBS = fasting blood sugar; HOMA = homeostasis assessment; IR = insulin resistance.
