Abstract

Objectives: Evaluate the differences in metabolic risk factors in preschool children with normal weight (NWG) or with some degree of excess weight (OWG).

Methods: Body mass index (BMI), umbilical waist circumference (WC), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) and total body fat (TBF) in children aged 1-5.9 years. The following metabolic risk factors were measured: blood pressure, fasting glycaemia, fasting serum insulin, HOMA IR Index, total cholesterol (TC), LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and triacylglycerol (TG).

Results: In population evaluated (n:689) MUAC, WC, TBF, HOMA IR were higher in OWG compared to NWG and significantly higher in OWG girls compared to boys (two ways ANOVA). Positive associations were found between diastolic blood pressure, insulin and HOMA IR and WC, MUAC, TBF, BMI z score in the adjusted and unadjusted model.

Conclusions: MUAC may emerge as an indicator with predictive power for metabolic risk and would be very useful to measure in many setting. There is a need for in-depth research into sex difference.

期刊介绍： The aim of the Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism (JPEM) is to diffuse speedily new medical information by publishing clinical investigations in pediatric endocrinology and basic research from all over the world. JPEM is the only international journal dedicated exclusively to endocrinology in the neonatal, pediatric and adolescent age groups. JPEM is a high-quality journal dedicated to pediatric endocrinology in its broadest sense, which is needed at this time of rapid expansion of the field of endocrinology. JPEM publishes Reviews, Original Research, Case Reports, Short Communications and Letters to the Editor (including comments on published papers),. JPEM publishes supplements of proceedings and abstracts of pediatric endocrinology and diabetes society meetings.
