Abstract
Metabolic syndrome in obese children is not related to arterial variables, whereas several of its individual components are associated with vascular alterations. These data suggest that the value of the metabolic syndrome as a predictor of future cardiovascular events in children remains to be prospectively evaluated. In the meantime, individual cardiovascular risk factors should be evaluated and controlled.
