Metabolite profiles and the risk of metabolic syndrome in early childhood: a case-control study
Abstract
BackgroundDefining the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in children remains challenging. Furthermore, a dichotomous MetS diagnosis can limit the power to study associations. We sought to characterize the serum metabolite signature of the MetS in early childhood using high-throughput metabolomic technologies that allow comprehensive profiling of metabolic status from a biospecimen.MethodsIn the Family Atherosclerosis Monitoring In earLY life (FAMILY) …
