Abstract :Background: With the increasing prevalence of obesity in adolescents, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome is increasing in our country. Objective: To compare the nutritional status, anthropometric measurements and biochemical parameters of adolescents diagnosed with metabolic syndrome with their healthy peers. Methods: The study included 40 adolescents with metabolic syndrome, 40 healthy adolescents aged 14-18 years living in Istanbul. A questionnaire including demographic information was applied. Body weight, height, and waist circumference were measured and a retrospective 24-hour dietary recal was taken by the researcher to determine their nutritional status. Glucose, insulin, triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, AST, ALT, blood pressure values associated with metabolic syndrome were recorded from hospital records. Results: Body weight, BMI, waist circumference measurements and biochemical parameters including glucose, insulin, triglycerides, total and HDL cholesterol, AST, ALT were found to be higher in adolescents with metabolic syndrome compared to their healthy peers (p<0.01). When food consumption records were examined, carbohydrate (%) and fiber (g) intakes of adolescents with metabolic syndrome were higher and fat (%) was lower (p<0.01). Positive correlation was found between fat (g) intake and BMI among anthropometric measurements and glucose among biochemical parameters (p<0.05). ALT and AST levels increased as the proportion of total energy coming from carbohydrate increased (p<0.05). Conclusion: Adolescents with metabolic syndrome were found to consume higher amounts of energy, carbohydrates and fiber, but had a more adequate and balanced daily diet compared to their healthy peers. These findings emphasize the importance of early intervention strategies, especially for younger age groups.
