Popis: Introduction: The search for new predictive markers, in the stratification of metabolic-vascular risks, is of vital importance in the prevention, diagnosis and timely treatment of cardiometabolic diseases, considering that the atherosclerotic process begins in childhood. The documentary review was carried out between March and July 2022, consulting the PubMed/Medline, SciElo, Scopus and Google Scholar databases as a gateway to information on the topic. 33 original articles were reviewed in the period 2012-2021 in English and Spanish, 29 were referenced and the key terms for the search were, metabolic-vascular risk, apolipoproteins A1 and B100, markers predictive of metabolic-vascular risk, childhood adolescence. Objective: To analyze the importance of apolipoproteins as predictive markers of pediatric metabolic-vascular risk. Development: Apolipoproteins have emerged as a very viable alternative, particularly the determination of ApoB 100 and ApoA 1, which express the balance between atherogenic and antiatherogenic activity and are present from the early ages of life. Early diagnosis of these markers will allow for early interventions to promote changes to healthy lifestyles, as well as preventive treatments that prevent complications of cardiometabolic disease. Conclusions: Considering that the atherosclerotic process begins at an early age, apolipoproteins constitute markers in the prediction of metabolic-vascular risk, their determination allows the identification, risk stratification and proposal of preventive strategies from pediatric ages.
