The metabolic syndrome is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Criteria of metabolic syndrome in adults include central obesity, dyslipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance and hypertension. The incidence of obesity, as well as metabolic syndrome, in population of Poland is increasing. Authors describe the case of 16-year-old boy admitted to the hospital because of accidentally diagnosed impaired fasting glucose. Family history appeared to be positive in terms of obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia and ischemic heart disease.
