Chart 11-2. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in youth
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in youth has decreased in the most recent NHANES follow-up (2009–2010 and 2011–2012). This is most evident when considering a metabolic syndrome severity score. Despite increasing obesity, decreased metabolic syndrome has been driven by increased HDL and decreased triglycerides. There has been concomitant decrease in calorie intake and carbohydrate intake as well as an increase in unsaturated fat.

See Glossary (Chapter 29) for an explanation of “diseases of the heart.” In the years 1900 to 1920, the International Classification of Diseases codes were 77 to 80; for 1925, 87 to 90; for 1930 to 1945, 90 to 95; for 1950 to 1960, 402 to 404 and 410 to 443; for 1965, 402 to 404 and 410 to 443; for 1970 to 1975, 390 to 398 and 404 to 429; for 1980 to 1995, 390 to 398, 402, and 404 to 429; for 2000 to 2014, I00 to I09, I11, I13, and I20 to I51. Before 1933, data are for a death registration area and not the entire United States. In 1900, only 10 states were included in the death registration area, and this increased over the years, so part of the increase in numbers of deaths is attributable to an increase in the number of states.
