Abstract
Childhood obesity holds great relevance in the global health panorama, being a problem that continues to rise. Such a condition is directly associated with metabolic disorders, triggering metabolic syndrome (MS), which results in several factors such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension, and an increased risk of other comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. This systematic review aims to analyze factors such as prevalence, diagnostic criteria, and main risk factors, using scientific databases to select literature consistent with the proposed theme.
