Background  Findings available in literature indicate that metabolic syndrome ( MetS ) diagnosed in young ages tends to remain in adulthood. The aim of the study was to identify demographic, nutritional, anthropometric and behavioral correlates of  MetS  in a sample of adolescents from Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.    Methodology  This is a cross-sectional school-based study involving 274 participants aged 12–18 years (186 girls and 88 boys). Anthropometric measurements were performed and a questionnaire with structured questions was applied for data collection.  MetS  was identified according to criteria proposed by the  International Diabetes Federation . Data were statistically treated using bivariate analysis and hierarchical multiple regression.    Results  The proportion of adolescents identified with  MetS  was equivalent to 4.7% [95% CI (3.6–6.0)]. Multivariate analysis showed that older age (OR = 1.22 [1.04–1.73]) and higher economic class (OR = 1.25 [1.07–1.96]) were significantly associated with  MetS . Among behavioral factors, longer recreational screen time (OR = 1.26 [1.05–1.94]) and low fruits/vegetables intake (OR = 1.49 [1.23–2.41]) were independently associated with  MetS . Likewise, excess body weight (OR = 1.52 [1.24–2.41]) was significantly associated with the outcome.    Conclusion  The high proportion of adolescents with  MetS  and the identification of their correlates reinforce the need for early life style intervention and awareness programs in this population group.
