Abstract:
Vitamin D(Vit D) belongs to steroids derivative and is also known as anti-rickets vitamin owing to its effect of anti-rickets.Pediatric metabolic syndrome is a group of complex,interrelated accumulation of risk factors that can lead to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.Recently,more and more reports demonstrate that Vit D deficiency is associated with the risk for pediatric metabolic syndrome,but the association is disputed among the children which is a special group since they are in the period of growth and the metabolic indicators are in the dynamic changes among all ages.Therefore,research on the relationship between Vit D and the components of pediatric metabolic syndrome will provide some theoretical basis for early intervention and treatment by raising the status of serum Vit D in order to reduce the risk for pediatric metabolic syndrome.
