Background: Among young adults, the metabolic syn-drome is an increasingly frequent risk factor for cardio-vascular disease. Its determinants are, however, incom-pletely understood. We investigated the time course, from adolescence (age, 13 years) to young adulthood (age, 36 years), of important potential determinants (body fat-ness and fat distribution, cardiopulmonary fitness, and lifestyle) in 364 individuals (189 women). Methods: Data were derived from the Amsterdam Growth and Health Longitudinal Study and analyzed with the use of generalized estimating equations. Results: The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome at the ageof36years, as identifiedwithamodifiedNationalCho-lesterolEducationProgramdefinitionof thesyndrome,was 10.4%. Subjec...
