ABSTRACT
Background:
Adult women with adrenal congenital hyperplasia (AH) have a higher risk for insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, high body mass index (BMI) and increased body fat. All these factors are associated with cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome (MS).Aim:
To evaluate the presence of MS in pubertal classic AH girls (CAH) and a control group (C). Material andMethods:
We studied 15 pubertal AH patients (12.0 +/- 1.9 years) and 26 controls (11.7+/- 0.3 years) matched by age and tanner stage. Weight, height, BMI, waist/hip ratio, blood pressure and serum lipids were measured. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin curve was performed in CAH girls whereas in controls basal insulin and glucose were determined. The homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMAIR) was calculated. Cook, Ferranti and international diabetes federation (IDF) criteria were used to determine the presence of MS.Results:
CAH and C girls had similar BMI (22.0 +/- 5.1 and 20.1 +/- 3.6 kg/m2 respectively; p = 0,11). CAH girls had higher basal blood glucose (80.8 +/- 7.7 and 60.6 +/- 10.6 mg/dl respectively, p < 0.01) and controls had higher triglyceride levels (147.0 +/- 69.3 and 79.7 +/-16.3 mg/dl respectively, p < 0.01) and lower HDL cholesterol levels (45.8 +/- 12.8 and 56.9 +/- 17.5 mg/dl respectively, p = 0.02). According to cook criteria 4 percent of CAH girls and 23 percent of controls has MS. These figures were 14 and 32 percent respectively according to Ferranti criteria and 0 and 5 percent respectively according to IDF criteria.Conclusions:
CAH puberal patients do not have a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome, compared with controls with similar Tanner stage and BMI.
