Abstract

Introduction: Obesity complications appear early in children. Their frequency varies with the severity of the body fat accumulation and its distribution. Birth weight (BW), the early onset of diabetes and sedentism could aggravate metabolic risk. Objectives: Determining the factors that are related to obesity severity and the presence of the components of the pediatric metabolic syndrome. Materials and Methods: A total of 78 patients were studied between 5-15 years old and with variable degrees of overweight. It was obtained: BW, Physical activity sore (Godard scale), BMI z-score, waist and size circumference, percentile, blood pressure (SBP and DBP), fat mass and lean mass by densitometry, glycemia, lipids, transaminases, PCR, insulinemia, C-Peptide, HOMA-Adiponectin, whole body insulin sensitivity (Matsuda) and muscle insulin sensitivity (DeFronzo), with the glucose tolerance test. ANOVA, Chisquare and Mann-Whitney test were used to compare groups, frequencies and nonnormal variables.
