    [abstract] => Purpose of the study. To assess the prevalence and structure of metabolic syndrome components among adolescents and to identify gender and regional differences in their distribution.
Material and methods. The study included 2000 adolescents aged 10-19 years from urban and rural areas of Tajikistan. Anthropometric parameters (BMI, waist circumference), arterial blood pressure, and biochemical indicators (fasting glucose, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol) were evaluated. The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was established according to the IDF (2007) criteria. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test (χ²), Student’s t-test, and correlation analysis (p < 0.05).
Research results. Abdominal obesity was detected in 28.4% of adolescents, and metabolic syndrome was diagnosed in 14.7% of those with obesity. The most frequent components were decreased HDL cholesterol (33.4%) and elevated triglycerides (26.8%), followed by elevated blood pressure (28.4%) and hyperglycemia (13.5%). Boys showed a higher, though not statistically significant, prevalence of all components compared to girls. Urban adolescents had significantly higher rates of elevated blood pressure (32.5% vs. 22.1%; p = 0.042). Correlation analysis revealed positive associations between BMI and systolic blood pressure (r = +0.41; p < 0.001), as well as waist circumference and diastolic pressure (r = +0.37; p = 0.002).
Conclusions. Abdominal obesity in adolescents is closely associated with multiple metabolic disturbances, including hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, and low HDL cholesterol. Urban lifestyle and male gender tend to increase the risk of metabolic syndrome components. Early screening and targeted preventive programs are essential for reducing future cardiovascular and metabolic risks.
