Association of metabolic syndrome components and hepatic transaminases with indicators of dimension and body composition in pediatric-aged subjects
Abstract
Objective. To determine the association of metabolic syndrome components and hepatic transaminases with indicators of dimension and body composition in children and adolescents. Method. Descriptive and cross-sectional study with a sample of 776 subjects, who underwent an integral evaluation that included: clinical (blood pressure), anthropometric (body size and composition indicators) and biochemical (plasma lipids, hepatic transaminases and basal glycemia) measures. Statistical analysis was performed with the SPSS version 20.0 statistical package, the results were expressed as median and probable error. Results. Statistically significant differences were found between obese and normal according to BMI, for all the variables analyzed with the exception of height, basal glycemia, LDL-c and AST; correlation of the anthropometric parameters of body dimension and compassion with the components of metabolic syndrome and ALP, additionally statistically significant differences were observed in the levels of the components of metabolic syndrome and hepatic transaminases for the different diagnoses of the body composition indicators. Conclusion: the results suggest that anthropometric variables and ALT are related to the components of the MS; therefore, they could be incorporated as a useful tool, due to their accessibility and low cost, in clinical practice.
