APOB and metabolic syndrome: In conclusion, Brazilian children presented higher chances to have increased hs-CRP in the presence of traditional cardiometabolic risk factors (excessive weight and elevated gynoid and android body fat), MetS components (abdominal obesity, low HDL-c, and hyperglycemia), and nontraditional cardiometabolic risk factors (increased uric acid, homocysteine, and apoB), indicating the early occurrence of metabolic disorders and their relation to subclinical inflammation.
