Popis: ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the role of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and the hypertriglyceridemic‐waist (HW) phenotype in determining cardiometabolic risk factors and elevated liver enzymes in a national sample of Iranian pediatric population.MethodThis nationwide study was conducted in the framework of the third survey of a surveillance program. Students, aged 10‐18 years, were recruited from 27 provinces in Iran. The prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors was compared in students with and without HW and MetS. The association of HW with different cardiometabolic risk factors was determined.ResultsThe mean age of studied population was 14.73±2.41 years. Prevalence of HW and MetS was 3.3% and 4%, respectively. Sixty‐nine (71.1%) participants with HW had MetS. The prevalence of obesity, elevated systolic blood pressure, hypercholesterolemia, and elevated ALT was significantly higher in subjects with HW phenotype and MetS than in their peers (p
