Metabolic syndrome in adolescents: prevalence and sensitivity and specificity to identify impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). A and C: Prevalence and 95% confidence intervals of MetS among all adolescents (A) and among only those overweight or obese (C), using ATP-III MetS criteria and MetS Z-score with cut-offs of 1.0 and 0.75. B and D: Sensitivity (dark grey bars) and specificity (light grey bars) and 95% CI of MetS for identifying IGT among all adolescents (B) and among only those overweight or obese (D).
