Yes. In children between 10 to 15 years, waist to height ratio over 0,50, plus sedentary lifestyle and pre hypertension might be a high risk profile of suffering metabolic syndrome early in adulthood.

Cardiovascular risk factors have a different profile in livings according to a large number of factors, primarily sex, race, geographical area and lifestyle. Personal findings conducted on hypertension and smoking (both active and passive smoking) permitted to clearly show a strong relationship between high blood pressure and increased rate of cardiovascular events, while cigarette smoking has been identified as an etiologic factor of ischemic heart disease.

Of Course professor.

In my country I am focusing specifically in young age, to start a primary prevention program at this early age inside Schools ! Thats why we just focus kids with this metabolic pattern !
