Short-term metabolic syndrome stability (repeated measurements within 60 d) was assessed in obese youth ages 6\u201317 yr. Long-term metabolic syndrome stability (repeated measurements more than 1.5 yr apart) was studied in 146 obese and nonobese children age 6\u201312 yr at baseline.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Patients and Setting: Convenience samples of obese and nonobese youth ages 6\u201317 yr participating in research studies were collected at a clinical research hospital.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: Short-term metabolic syndrome stability (repeat measurements performed 19.7 \u00b1 13.1 d apart) was assessed in 220 children.
