ABSTRACT
Background: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children in
Mexico are high, as well as the complications associated with their presence.
The objective of this work was to estimate the prevalence of metabolic
syndrome in obese children and adolescents attending a Hospital
Clinic and identify the associated factors.
Methods: Cross sectional design with 120 children and adolescents; of
either sex, with exogenous obesity and BMI › 2.0 standard deviations.
Personal and family history was collected, blood pressure was measured
and determination of serum glucose, insulin, lipoprotein HDL cholesterol
and triglycerides were performed. The presence of metabolic syndrome
with the ATPIII, WHO and International Diabetes Federation criteria was
identified. The association of metabolic syndrome with different variables
was identified with chi square test and calculation of odds ratio.
Results: Mean age was 10.6 ± 2.7 years. The prevalence of metabolic
syndrome was 37.5% to 54.5% depending on the criteria used. The presence
of metabolic syndrome was associated with a history of large birth
weight (OR = 2.21 [1.01-4.82]), and insulin resistance (OR = 6.53 [2.40-
18.2]).
Conclusions: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is high in this
group of children and adolescents with obesity. The history of large birth
weight and the presence of insulin resistance should alert us to the presence
of the disease.
