Resumen del Autor:
Dyslipidemia, hypertension, insulin resistance, alterations in carbohydrate metabolism, and obesity are potent risk factors for cardiovascular disease in adults. This constellation of pathological situations is known as dysmetabolic syndrome. Obesity plays a central role in this syndrome. Although the impact of cardiovascular disease and death is evident in adults, the pathological process and associated risk factors begin during childhood. Components of metabolic disease have been found in children and adolescents. Obesity at these ages is also associated with insulin resistance, together with lipid abnormalities and increased blood pressure in young adults. Type 2 diabetes has become highly prevalent among obese adolescents and insulin resistance is the best predictor of alterations in glucose tolerance. Because of the large increase in the incidence of obesity in the pediatric age group, especially in certain countries and ethnic groups, knowledge and control of these risk factors
at a young age are essential. Early prevention and intervention in overweight and obese children and adolescents, especially in those who belong to risk groups, is crucial.
