Abstract:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic obesity on the components of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in adolescents. METHODS: This study used the fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2010 to 2011. The study included 859 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years. Descriptive statistics and simple and multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted using SAS 9.2. RESULTS: Based on the results, adolescents with sarcopenic obesity had a higher risk of central obesity (AOR: 23.41, 95% CI: 12.76–43.97), high triglyceride (OR: 4.58, 95% CI: 2.69–7.79), low HDL-cholesterol (AOR: 2.66, 95% CI: 1.74–4.05), high blood pressure (AOR: 3.44, 95% CI: 1.37–8.68), and high fasting glucose (AOR: 2.37, 95% CI: 1.13–4.96) than their normal counterparts. Adolescents with non-sarcopenic obesity had a higher risk of central obesity (AOR: 19.75, 95% CI: 9.73–44.67), high triglyceride (OR: 3.09, 95% CI: 1.22–7.81), and low HDL-cholesterol (AOR: 2.73, 95% CI: 1.37–5.45) than normal youths, and these were not significantly related to high blood pressure and fasting glucose. CONCLUSION: Sarcopenic obesity was more related to the components of MetS than non-sarcopenic obesity. Since adolescents with sarcopenic obesity are a more vulnerable population, a prevention and management program for MetS and cardiovascular risk should be implemented in this population.
