Background: The association between oxidative stress (OS) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been reported in adults. We analyzed the relation between circulating oxidized low-density lipoproteins (Ox-LDL) and MetS in pediatric ages in order to define whether plasma Ox-LDL levels are correlated to obesity and whether oxidative damage, using serum Ox-LDL levels as a proxy, are associated with MetS.Methods: We enrolled 178 children (11.8 +/- 2.6 years). On the basis of a body mass index (BMI) threshold, the subjects were classified as: normal weight BMI < 75th percentile; overweight BMI 75-97th percentile; obese BMI > 97th percentile. Patients were classified as having MetS if they met three or more of the following criteria for age and sex: BMI > 97th percentile, triglyceride levels > 95th percentile, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level < 5th percentile, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) > 95th percentile and impaired glucose tolerance.Results: Obese children showed increased MetS prevalence (p = 0.001) and higher Ox-LDL levels compared to normal-and overweight subjects (p < 0.05), with a limited relation between Ox-LDL and MetS (p = 0.06). Waist-to-height ratio (W/HtR) (p = 0.02), triglycerides (TG) (p = 0.001) and LDL-cholesterol (p < 0.001) resulted independent predictors of increased plasma Ox-LDL levels.Conclusions: Oxidative damage was correlated with a hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype and can be a precocious marker of MetS and cardiometabolic risk in obese children.
