No, either or both parents with metabolic syndrome: comparative study of its impact on sons and daughters
Metabolic risk factors were more strongly associated with parental MetS in boys than in girls. The number of parental MetS cases appeared to have a proportional impact on metabolic components in boys, unlike the variable results observed in girls. These results emphasize the need for targeted interventions in families with a history of MetS.
