Abstract
Childhood obesity has become a public health problem as it increases the risk of chronic noncommunicable diseases in children. In adults, cardiometabolic rate (CMI) is a component that takes into account the relationship between waist circumference (WC), height (T), triglyceride level (T), and HDL cholesterol, which is a powerful long-term predictor of diabetes and hypertension. Because there are few studies in children measuring this index, this study was established. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in overweight and obese (O&O) children aged 6 to 14 years, treated in 2019 at the Enrique Garcés General Hospital in Quito-Ecuador. MCI = ((CC/T) / (TG/HDL-c)) was obtained and associated with the variables studied: sex and glucose. A descriptive analysis is performed, and the MCI is analyzed by quartiles using the Analysis of Variance. In the Results we found that of 250 children who entered the study. A higher frequency of O&O was evidenced in patients between 6 and 9 years old, 139/250 (55.6%), and in men, 132/250 (52.8%). There were no statistical differences in anthropometric or biochemical studies between boys and girls. The MCI, the most frequent quartile, was between Q2 to Q3 (0.16-0.21) with 34.8% (n= 87), the Quartile Greater of Q3 and Lower than Q1, which registered 19.6% (n= 49) respectively. There was no association between diabetes and MCI.
