It is widely agreed that non-communicable chronic diseases are escalating much more rapidly in developing than developed countries. Obesity is a one ofthe most common nutritional disorders worldwide, clearly associated with the metabolic syndrome (Mets), a condition with implications for the development of many chronic diseases. Objective ofthe study: to determine the prevalence ofMets and cut-off values of waist circumference and body mass index to predict Mets in children with overweight and obesity. Methods: the authors conducted a cross-sectional analysis on 510 overweight and obese children from 10 to 15 years old in Bien Hoa- Dong Nai (2010-2012) and the diagnosis of Mets was defined according to 2007 International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Results: There was an association between BM! and the dyslipidemia (p0.05). Of total participants, 31.37 percent met the.criteria for Mets (femalemale, p0.05).The most common manifestation ofMets in this study was "WC-Blood pressure- TG" (41.15 percent). Cut-off values of anthropometric to predict Mets: BM! was 25.00 in boys and 24.50 in girls; WC was 82cm in boys and 80cm in girls. Conclusions: The Mets was 31.37 percent among children with overweight and obesity. Cut-off values of WC and BMI in this study could be the optimal threshold to predict Mets in overweight and o1?ese children from 10 to 15 years old.
