For girls, significant differences (p < 0.05) by pubertal status were found for HOMA-IR, among the MetS components, and leptin, while, for boys, those differences (p < 0.05) were found for SBP, HOMA-IR, TAG, and HDL-c and, among the inflammatory biomarkers, for adiponectin (p < 0.001). Here, ADIPOQ is linked to metabolic syndrome.
