RESUMO
Objetivo: el propósito de este estudio fue determinar la relación entre el índice de masa corporal, el índice de masa grasa y la tensión arterial en un grupo de cadetes con sobrepeso. El índice de masa corporal no estima la adiposidad como sí sucede con el índice de masa grasa; a su vez, el exceso de adiposidad predispone el desarrollo de enfermedades cardiovasculares. Materiales y métodos: estudio observacional retrospectivo. Se aplicaron estadísticos descriptivos y correlación de Pearson. Resultados: 90 cadetes con edad promedio 22 ± 3años y con índice de masa corporal de 27,3 ± 2 kg/m2, hicieron parte del estudio. El índice de masa grasa no presentó diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres: 7,62 ± 2,37 kg/m2 y 7,8 ± 2,3kg/m2 respectivamente (p: 0,38). En hombres, la tensión arterial sistólica y diastólica fue normal y sin diferencias significativas (p > 0,05). En los hombres, la tensión arterial diastólica se relacionó con valor absoluto de la masa grasa (r= 0,420 p 0,00) y con el índice de masa grasa (r=0,386 p: 0,00). En las mujeres, el índice de masa grasa se relacionó con el índice de masa corporal (r= 0,516 p= 0,00) y la tensión arterial sistólica se relacionó con la circunferencia de la cintura (r= 0,357 p: 0,03). Conclusiones: en jóvenes militares el índice de masa corporal ≥ 25 kg/m2, no se relaciona con la tensión arterial y el índice de masa grasa, no sugiere sobrepeso por adiposidad..Au
Objective: the purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between body mass index, body mass index and blood pressure in a group of overweight cadets. The body mass index does not estimate adiposity as if it happens with the fat mass index.In turn, excess adiposity predisposes the development of cardiovascular diseases Materials and methods: retrospective observational study. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation were applied. Results: 90 cadets with an average age of 22 ± 3 years and a body mass index of 27.3 ± 2 kg / m2 were part of the study. The fat mass index did not show significant differences between men and women: 7.62 ± 2.37 kg / m2 and 7.8 ± 2.3kg / m2 respectively (p: 0.38). In men, systolic and diastolic blood pressure was normal and without significant differences (p> 0.05). In men, diastolic blood pressure was related to absolute value of fat mass (r = 0.420 p 0.00) and to the fat mass index (r = 0.386 p: 0.00). In women, the fat mass index was related to the body mass index (r = 0.516 p = 0.00) and the systolic blood pressure was related to the waist circumference (r = 0.357 p: 0.03). Conclusions: in young military the body mass index ≥ 25 kg / m2, is not related to blood pressure and fat mass index, does not suggest overweight due to adiposity..Au

Background:The evidence that cardiovascular disease begins in childhood and adolescence, especially in the presence of excess weight, is associated with dysfunction on adipokine pro-inflammatory secretion. These affect glucose metabolism and lead to other complications related to insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. This study assessed the association of anthropometric and metabolic parameters related to obesity, cardiovascular risk,and insulin resistance with concentrations of resistin and visfatin, in children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was developed with 178 children of 610 years old enrolled in public city schools. Anthropometric data, composition body, clinical, and biochemical were measured according to standard procedures. We used multiple regression models by stepwise method to evaluate the associations of resistin and visfatin with variables of interest.RESULTS: In healthy weight children, resistin was associated with LDL cholesterol, visfatin, atherogenic index, andwaist-to-height ratio, whereas in obese children resistin was associated with visfatin and interaction between conicity index and HOMA-AD. Furthermore, in healthy weight children, visfatin was associated to resistin and triceps skinfold thickness and negatively associated to HOMA-AD, while in obese ones visfatin was associated with waist-to-height ratio, atherogenic index, resistin, and interaction between trunk adiposity index and adiponectin and wasnegatively associated with the HOMA-IR index.CONCLUSIONS:Our study shows an association between anthropometric and biochemical variables related tovisceral fat and inflammation. These results suggest the resistin and visfatin as good pro-inflammatory markers. In addition, both adipokines are strongly related to central obesity, in children. In addition, both adipokines are strongly related to central obesity, in children.
