| Popis: | Objective: To determine the frequency of metabolic syndrome among children and adolescents treated in an outpatient clinic for nutritional disorders. Method: It is a retrospective chart review study of cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of 53 subjects, aged 6-12 years. The variables studied were the medical records: age, sex, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, blood pressure, and glucose. Data were entered into Excel for Windows XP and transferred to SPSS, version 17. We used the chi-square test to check for statistically significant differences between the explanatory variables and their outcomes, accepting p < 0.05 for statistical significance. Results: In the group of subjects reported, 58.5% (n = 31) were female. Regarding the classification of BMI, 7.5% (n = 4) were overweight and 92.5% (n = 49) were obese. There was no statistically significant difference between the sexes and age groups regarding the BMI classification. 58% were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. However, no statistically significant difference between the changes that may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease in relation to sex and age was observed. The biochemical changes that may lead to the development of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases were more significant in children and adolescents. Conclusion: The presence of metabolic syndrome was 58%, and the changes that contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases were more significant among children and adolescents |
