as a teenager, i know about two people (ages 13 and 14) who snore. usually, i don’t come across this, so i was wondering how common/normal it is.

people have told me that snoring at that age is not normal and a sign of sleep apnea.

    You said “have metabolic syndrome,” not “are not in optimal metabolic health.” These are different.

    We should also clarify this isn’t just a western issue, but global.

      Yes it’s global. Your right - In my head I have metabolic syndrome on a spectrum following insulin resistance, so I’m using the 88% as metabolically unhealthy as on the spectrum of metabolic syndrome. I shouldn’t do that, I know MetS has a clinical definition based on multi-factor presentation.
