O13 Association of cardiometabolic markers and central obesity in normal and overweight or obese children

Abstract

Objective: To determine the association of cardiometabolic markers and central obesity (OB) in four groups of school children: 1- normal weight with central OB 2- normal weight without central OB, 3- OW (overweight) / OB with central OB, and 4- OW / OB without central OB in a sample of school children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in schoolchildren between November 2011 and 2013. Children's anthropometric measurements, blood pressure (BP) and serum levels of glucose, lipids and insulin were measured. Maternal BMI and waist circumference (WC) were evaluated. Children were classified as having OW (BMI = 85- 94th percentile) and OB (BMI> 95th percentile) according to the CDC. Central OB was classified as WC> 90th percentile
