- Abstract
Background: Cardiovascular disease is associated with lipid abnormalities, hyperglycaemia and overweight. Objectives: To study the relationship between serum lipids and fasting glycaemia with body mass index and waist circumference. Materials and methods: 372 adolescents, 12 to 15 years, participated in a cross sectional study. Associations between Body Mass Index and waist circumference with serum lipids and glycaemia were evaluated. Results: The following prevalence was found: CT≥170 mg/dL, 24.7%; LDL- c ≥110 mg/dL, 12.6%; TG≥90 mg/ dL, 34.1%; HDL-c≤45 mg/dL, 6.1% and glycaemia >125mg/dL 10.5%. Overweight prevalence, BMI> p85 was 14.7% and risk of high waist circumference and atypical values was 23.6%. According Chi², in girls differences were found between glycaemia > 125mg/dl according BMI and WC (p <0.001) and in boys between HDL-c <45mg/dL according WC (p = 0.037) and between TG ≥ 90 mg/dL according BMI (p = 0.040) and WC (p = 0.036). Conclusions: In adolescents studied the prevalence of overweight and central adiposity were high, the relationship between altered TG, HDL-c and hyperglycemia overweight and central adiposity values depend on sex.
