ABSTRACT

Introduction. Obesity increases the risk of hypertension, dyslipidemia, abdominal obesity and high insulin levels. To implement effective screening tools to identify these comorbidities, there is a need to know the anthropometric factors associated with the presence of metabolic syndrome risk markers.
Methods. In this pilot study, a complete nutrition evaluation was applied to 188 school-aged children (9-12 years old) from 3 urban public schools in Mexico City. Anthropometric indices (body mass, index, waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio) were associated with metabolic syndrome risk markers.
Results and conclusions. Waist circumference is a better predictor of hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia than body mass index. Waist-to height ratio was the most significant predictor for hypertriglyceridemia. Waist circumference accounts for half of blood pressure variation in obese children.
