Abstract

Objective: To screen 97 obese Arab adolescents for metabolic risk factors.

Results: Insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and intermediate hyperglycaemia was found in 56.7 %, 14.4 % and 27.8 % (HbA1c) while fasting plasma glucose was impaired in 0-16.5 %, using different cut-offs. Interventions to prevent obesity and diabetes are needed.
