Метаболический синдром - это хорошо известное явление среди взрослых. Данные многочисленных клинических исследований показали, что метаболический синдром начинается в детстве и прослеживается в дальнейшей жизни. Цель исследования. Изучение распространенности повышенной массы тела, ожирения и выявление предикторов развития метаболического синдрома среди подростков 12-17 лет в г. Алматы. Материалы и методы. В данном исследовании показаны результаты обследования 800 подростков в поликлиниках №10 и №29 города Алматы, в возрасте от 12 до 17 лет, на предмет выявления предикторов метаболического синдрома. Статистическая обработка полученных данных осуществлялась с помощью программы MS Excel c применением методов описательной, параметрической и непараметрической статистики. Результаты исследования. Установлено, что предикторами метаболического синдрома у подростков являются показатели ХО (r 0,103), ЛПНП (r 0,39), ЛПВП (r 0,3), ТГ (r 0,03) и глюкозы натощак (r 2,22), что подчеркивает роль врачей первичного звена и, в первую очередь, врачей педиатров и эндокринологов. Из общего числа подростков избыточная масса тела и ожирение независимо от пола превалировала в возрасте 13-14 лет (28,6 - 38,8% (66)). Выводы. Ранняя диагностика предикторов развития метаболического синдрома в подростковом возрасте и применение в первичном звене профилактических и лечебных мероприятий поможет предупредить возникновение осложнений в будущем. Metabolic syndrome is a well-known phenomenon among adults. Data from numerous clinical studies have shown that the metabolic syndrome begins in childhood and can be traced the rest of the life. Research objective. To study the prevalence of overweight, obesity and to identify predictors of the development of metabolic syndrome among adolescents aged 12-17 years in Almaty. Materials and methods. This study shows the results of a survey of 800 adolescents in polyclinics №10 and №29 in Almaty, aged 12 to 17 years, to identify predictors of metabolic syndrome. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using the MS Excel program using the methods of descriptive, parametric and nonparametric statistics. Results. It was found that the predictors of metabolic syndrome in adolescents are indicators of HТ (r 0.103), LDL (r 0.39), HDL (r 0.3), T (r 0.03) and fasting glucose (r 2.22), which emphasizes the role of primary care physicians and, first of all, pediatricians and endocrinologists. Of the total number of adolescents, overweight and obesity, regardless of gender, prevailed at the age of 13-14 years (28,6 - 38,8% (66)). Conclusion. Early diagnosis of development of predictors of metabolic syndrome in adolescence and the use of preventive and therapeutic measures in the primary link will help prevent the occurrence of complications in the future.

Metabolic syndrome is attracting more and more attention of physicians because of the increasing prevalence and poor prognosis for patients. The main target in treatment of any chronic disease is to achieve a satisfactory compliance status that depends on the motivational status of a patient and a physician. Communication between some aspects such as the motivation to conduct long-term therapy, the level of knowledge and readiness to use both of these parts on practice is interest to explore.The aim of the present study was to analyse the readiness of primary care physicians to assist patients with the metabolic syndrome. Tasks that the authors set for themselves, was to assess the knowledge, skills and willingness of primary care physicians to help patients with metabolic syndrome. The object of study were physicians and local therapists working in Moscow hospitals and clinics, who were training at the Department of Therapy №2 FPGE MSMSU from 2011 to 2013. Surveys were conducted on the basics of the available methodologies for assessing the knowledge and skills that are using in teaching nowadays. Analysis of the results suggests very low willingness of physicians to assist patients of this category.
