    Abstract

    The cardio-metabolic abnormalities are the cardio-metabolic risk factors including abdominal obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia. The presence of overweight and cardio metabolic abnormalities are more common in higher socioeconomic group which is related with difference in lifestyle. Aim: To study the risk factors of cardio metabolic abnormalities and metabolic syndrome among adolescent population. Material and Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in rural area of Primary Health Centre. All adolescent in the age group of 10-19 years of Primary Health Centre, were included in study. Considering prevalence of one or more cardio-metabolic abnormality to be 67.7% among adolescents,5 sample size of 369 was required at α-error=5%, non-response rate 10%. Result: Out of 405 subjects we found 10.6 % of subjects had family history of obesity, 5.9% of subjects had family history of hypertension and 3.2 % of subjects had family history of Diabetes. In study population, 5.4 % of subjects were found to overweight group (85th-<95th percentile), 59.3% had normal BMI (<85th percentile) and 35.3% were thin group (<5th percentile).59 Conclusion: The early identification of cardio metabolic risk factors can help with an attempt to prevent or delay metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The adolescent from affluent family, family history of obesity, hypertension and diabetes are at high risk, thus, need to modify their lifestyle.
