  6. Rates of Metabolic Syndrome by Increased Smoke Exposure in US teens

  7. Genetics, Peri-natal, Puberty, Diet, Physical Activity Potential Precursors: Adiponectin Other inflammatory cytokines • Dyslipidemia • Elevated BP • Abnormal glucose-insulin metabolism • Pro-inflammatory factors • Pro-thrombotic factors Tobacco use/exposure Bold = factors included in this study Diabetes Obesity Abdominal Obesity Cardiovascular Disease Proposed Metabolic Syndrome Factors in the Life Course from Obesity to Cardiovascular Disease

  8. Co-morbidities with Cardio-metabolic Risk among youth • Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome • Obstructive Sleep Apnea

  9. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome • Menstrual Irregularities / Infertility • Small Cysts on Ovaries • Hyper-Androgenism • Insulin Resistance • +/- obesity • Increased CVD risk
