ABSTRACT
Objective: to compare the measurements of waist circumference and waist-hip
circumference to determine the frequency of metabolic syndrome in first degree
relatives of persons with type 1diabetes, using different pediatric definitions.
Methods: two hundred twenty four first degree relatives of persons with type 1
diabetes were studied in ages from 4 to 10 years. Weight, height, waist-hip
circumference, blood pressure, glycemia, triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol were
determined. The definitions of metabolic syndrome according to Cook, Ford,
International Federation of Diabetes and the Cuban consensus were applied. A variant
of Cuban consensus was performed using: body mass index and waist-hip index
according the Cuban tables, values of glucose ≥ 5,6 mmol/L and blood pressure ≥ 90
percentile (Cuban tables). In an independent way, criteria of HDL-cholesterol and
triglycerides were taken into account. The waist-hip index of Cuban tables, the waist
circumference suggested by the Latin-American and European Association of Diabetes
for study definitions were applied. For comparison of frequencies of metabolic
syndrome the Fisher exact test was used.
Results: the frequency of metabolic syndrome with application of Cuban consensus
variant was of 9,37 % (21/224). Comparing the above variant with the definitions of
Cook, Ford and of the International Federation of Diabetes (using the waist
circumference of the Latin-American Association of Diabetes, there was a significant
difference between Cook and the International Federation of Diabetes (4,01 %, p=
0,0360; 1,33 %, p= 0,0002, respectively). Comparing the presence of metabolic
syndrome of the Cuban consensus variant with Cook (8,48 %; 19/224) and Ford
(8,93 %; 20/224) taking into account the waist-hip index of the Cuban tables, it is
possible to detect similar frequencies of first degree relatives of persons with type 1 diabetes with metabolic syndrome. On the other hand, we found significant
differences comparing the frequencies of metabolic syndrome of the Cuban consensus
variant (p= 0,0019), of Cook (p= 0,0053) and of Ford (p= 0,0032) with the definition
suggested by the International Federation of Diabetes (2,23 %; 5/224) using the
waist-hip index.
Conclusions: our data demonstrate that for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome we
must to use the waist-hip index and not the circumference suggested by the Latin-
American Association of Diabetes, still without to present own data of waist-hip
circumference of the Cuban population.
