Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 200 niños y adolescentes obesos, con edades de 5 a 18 años, que acudieron a la consulta de Endocrinología del Hospital Docente Infantil Norte "Dr. Juan de la Cruz Martínez Maceira" de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero del 2008 hasta igual mes del 2010, a fin de determinar la existencia del síndrome metabólico en estos, para lo cual se consideraron las variables edad, sexo, presencia de síndrome metabólico (según el National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III), índice de masa corporal, bajo peso al nacer, antecedentes obstétricos de la madre (crecimiento intrauterino retardado, diabetes e hipertensión gestacionales) y patológicos familiares (obesidad, diabetes mellitus e hipertensión arterial), así como parámetros bioquímicos. En la casuística se observó un bajo porcentaje del síndrome metabólico (12,0 %), con predominio en las edades de 15 a 18 años, el cual estuvo estrechamente relacionado con la circunferencia abdominal, que se presentó por encima de 95 percentil en 100,0 % de los pacientes; el bajo peso al nacer, que primó en 70,8 % de los afectados con la entidad clínica; y la severidad de la obesidad, que mostró la importante cifra de 95,8 % en la génesis de dicho síndrome.

A low percentage of metabolic syndrome (12.0%), predominantly in the ages from 15 to 18 years, which was closely related to abdominal circumference that was above 95 percentile in 100.0% of patients; the low birth weight prevailing in 70.8% of those affected with the clinical entity; and the severity of the obesity that showed the significant rate of 95.8% in the genesis of this syndrome were observed in the case material.
