Item Association between serum uric acid and metabolic syndrome components in prepubertal obese children (tanner stage I) from Nuevo León, Mexico - A preliminary study(BMC, 2017) Solis Perez, Elizabeth; González Medina, Mario Alberto; Lomeli, Manuel Lopez-Cabanillas; González, Verónica Tijerina; Pérez, Jesús Zacarías Villarreal; González, Fernando J. Lavalle; Imrhan, Victorine; Juma, Shanil; Vijayagopal, Parakat; Boonme, Kittipong; Prasad, ChandanBackground: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Previous studies in obese children demonstrating a positive association between serum uric acid (sUA) and components of MetS are confounded by lack of uniformity in age and pubertal status of children. Therefore, we have examined the role of sUA in MetS and its components in pre-pubertal children (Tanner Stage I, age ≤ 9 years).
