BACKGROUND: @entity27 has a negative impact on the health of millions of adolescents and youth. The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations of @entity27 with @entity28 and cardiometabolic risk factors among adolescents and youth at risk for @entity209 ( @entity209 ). METHODS: A total of 558 subjects aged 14-28 years were recruited from the Beijing @entity1 and @entity209 Syndrome Study. Each underwent a 2-h oral @entity413 tolerance test (OGTT), echocardiography, and liver ultrasonography. Anthropometric measures, blood levels of @entity413 , lipids, and liver enzymes were assessed. Subjects with high or low risk for @entity27 were identified by Berlin Questionnaire (BQ). RESULTS: Among the subjects in @entity28 , 33.7% of whom were likely to have @entity27 by BQ. Subjects with high risk for @entity27 had higher neck and waist circumference and fat mass percentage compared to those with low risk for @entity27 (P < 0.001). Moreover, significant differences in levels of lipids, @entity413 after OGTT, and liver enzymes, as well as echocardiographic parameters were found between the two groups with high or low risk for @entity27 (P < 0.05). The rates of @entity1561 (71.0% vs. 24.2%), @entity209 (38.9% vs. 7.0%), and its components in high-risk group were significantly higher than in low-risk group. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of @entity27 by BQ was high in @entity28 adolescents and youth. A high risk for @entity27 indicates a high cardiometabolic risk. Mechanisms mediating the observed associations require further investigation.
