背景：在全国儿童肥胖流行的背景下，本研究试图记录乔治亚州农村社区儿童的心血管风险状况。方法：对2002年从学校招募的211名儿童（2 - 11年级，7 - 18岁）进行了人体测量和血压测量，并对160名儿童进行了空腹血糖和血脂测量。结果：近半数学龄儿童（48%）超重或有超重危险；15%患有代谢综合征。超重儿童患代谢综合征的风险更高，危险因素也更多。血压：19%患者收缩压升高；4%的患者舒张压升高。血糖：14%的人空腹血糖水平受损；未发现糖尿病病例。脂质谱：26%有高总胆固醇（>70毫克/分升），20%有高低密度脂蛋白（>110毫克/分升），13%有高甘油三酯（>150毫克/分升），43%有低高密度脂蛋白(女性，
Background: in the context of a national childhood obesity epidemic, this study sought to document the cardiovascular risk status of children in a rural Georgia community. Methods: Anthropometrics and blood pressure were measured in 211 children, and fasting glucose and lipid profile in 160, recruited from schools in 2002 (grades 2 to 11, ages 7 to 18 years). Results: Nearly half the schoolchildren (48%) were overweight or at risk of overweight; 15% had metabolic syndrome. Overweight children were at higher risk for metabolic syndrome and had more risk factors. Blood pressure: 19% had elevated systolic blood pressure; 4% had elevated diastolic blood pressure. Glycemia: 14% had impaired fasting glucose levels; no diabetes cases were detected. Lipid profile: 26% had high total cholesterol (>170 mg/dL), 20% had high low-density lipoprotein (>110 mg/dL), 13% had high triglycerides (>150 mg/dL), 43% had low high-density lipoprotein (females,
