Une étude prospective de la prévalence du syndrome métabolique dans des familles françaises supposées saines

Our results show that MS is present in presumably healthy adults of the STANISLAS cohort and increases with age. Moreover, low HDL-C and TNF-α may play an important role in the development of MS in childhood, at least in our population. Therefore, a systematic tracking of MS appears to be all the more important as it will permit early management of MS in parents and the installation of efficient preventive measures in children including specific advice for diet and physical activity.
