Abstract
Metabolic syndrome become one of risk of degenarative disease, like coronary heart disease (CHD) and Diabetes melitus (DM). Metabolic syndrome characterized by occurance of 3 of these symptoms : high blood pressure, decrease of HDL-cholesterol level, increase of LDL-cholesterol level, increase of  triglyseride level, increase of  fasting glucose level, increase of waist-hip ratio. Metabolic syndrome is often related to obesity. Adolescent with obesity has more risk to be obese adult and has more risk to be suffered from metabolic syndrome and degenerative disease. This study aimed to identify overweight and obese prevalence in adolescence as a risk factor of metabolic syndrome. This was an observational research conducted in Junior High School in Jember. Two hundred and ninety four High School students were participated as subjects in this research. Their body weight, height, and BMI/Age were measure as research variables. Prevalence of overweight in male and female adolescence are 13.3% and 18.4% respectively. prevalence of obesity in male and female adolescence are 11.2% and 7.2% respectively. Both, male and female adolescence, who have nutritional status overweight and obesity have same risk of emergence of metabolic syndrome in future.References
