OBJECTIVE: Determining the prevalence and estimating the risk of @entity28 for @entity2299 and @entity3190 in adolescents. The existence of a linear association betweenanthropometric measures, lipids and @entity2690 was also evaluated. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A comparative study was carried out amongst @entity28 (body mass index=BMI >95th percentile for age and gender; n=120) and non- @entity28 adolescents (BMI <85th percentile for age and sex; n=120) aged 10-19. A structured questionnaire was used for collecting anthropometric and demographic data. @entity413 , @entity2690 and lipid profiles were obtained for each adolescent. RESULTS: Prevalence of at least one @entity2299 was 56,6 % among @entity28 adolescents and 20,8 % amongst non- @entity28 ones (p<.001). The former registered 50 % prevalence of @entity3190 , the latter 4 % (p<.001). Obesity increased @entity3190 risk having a 23 odds ratio (8.3-68.9 95 % CI) and for at least one @entity2299 (OR=5,0; 2,7-9,2 95 % CI). @entity2690 level significantly correlated with BMI (r=0,57), @entity1674 (r=0,57), VLDL (r=0,57), HDL (-0,37), waist-hip circumference index (r=0,29), @entity165 (r=0,22), and LDL (r=0,13). CONCLUSIONS: Obesity can be considered to be a risk factor for developing @entity209 in adolescents. In fact, there was a linear relationship between anthropometric measurement, lipids and @entity2690 . Prevention should focus on improving predisposing environments for @entity28 amongst families having @entity1 and teenagers. Emphasising life-styles and healthy behaviour is essential, as well as training and treatment options for complete care of individuals in this age-group.
