RESUMEN
El síndrome metabólico (SM) en niños se diagnóstica con la presencia de tres ó más de los siguientes criterios Obesidad abdominal > p90, presión arterial sistólica y/o diastólica > p95, triglicéridos > p95, HDL-C < p5, según edad y sexo; y alteraciones de la glicemia en ayunas > 100mg/dl. Determinar la prevalencia y los factores de riesgo para síndrome metabólico en los escolares de 6 a 12 años de la Escuela Básica Bolivariana “Moruy” en el Municipio Falcón del Estado Falcón, mayo-agosto 2006. Es un estudio descriptivo, transversal, exploratorio, no experimental, con muestra probabilística de 80 estudiantes de ambos sexos; determinándoles presión arterial, circunferencia abdominal, peso, talla, perfil lipídico y glicemia en ayunas. De la población estudiada, en 13,7 por ciento se evidenció presión arterial elevada, 11,2 por ciento obesidad abdominal, 11,3 por ciento sobrepeso y obesidad corporal, 3,7 por ciento estrías cutáneas, 1,2 por ciento acantosis nigricans, 3,7 por ciento hipertrigliceridemia, 13,7 por ciento HDL-C bajo, 6,2 por ciento alteraciones de la glicemia en ayunas. La prevalencia total de SM fue de un 3.7 por ciento. La totalidad de la población estudiada presentó al menos un factor de riesgo (familiar, perinatal y/o obstétrico y personal) para SM, mientras que la prevalencia de SM se ubicó en 3,7 por ciento.
ABSTRACT
The metabolic syndrome (MS) in children is diagnosed with the presence of three or more of the following criteria abdominal obesity > p90, blood pressure systolic/diastolic > p95, triglycerides > p95, HDL-C < p5, according to gender and age, and fasting glucose alterations > 100 mg/dl.

Objective:

To determine the prevalence and the risks factors for ms in students 6-12 years old of the Bolivarian Basic School “Moruy” in the municipality of Falcón, state of Falcon, Venezuela.

Methods:

It is a descriptive, transversal, exploratory, not experimental study, with a probabilistic sample of 80 students; the following parameters were measured blood pressure, waist circumference, weight, size, serum lipids and fasting glucose.

Results:

13.7% of the total population presented high blood pressure, 11.2% abdominal obesity, 11.3% were overweigth or presented corporal obesity, cutaneous striates were present in 3.7%, acantosis nigricans in 1.2%, hipertriglyceridaemia in 3.7%, low HDL-C in 13.7%, fasting glucose was elevated in 6.2% and the total prevalence of MS was 3.7%. The total studied population presented at least one risk factor (familiar, perinatal/obstetric and personal) for MS. The total prevalence of MS was 3.7%.
