Resumen

HERRERA, Orlando Araujo. Metabolic syndrome in childhood, assessment aimed to the primary health care. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2015, vol.87, n.1, pp.82-91. ISSN 0034-7531.

Obesity in children and adolescents is a health problem worldwide and is often associated to different clinical alterations such as metabolic syndrome, early atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, blood hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The metabolic syndrome has been defined as the association of several predisposing risk factors for the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus in the adult. However, there is no consensus about diagnosis of this entity at childhood and adolescence. The clinical importance of this syndrome and its early detection come from its growing prevalence and high cardiovascular risk that is due to the combination of all its components which are in turn independent risk factors. The treatment in this group of ages is aimed at primary prevention and at promoting changes in lifestyles.

Palabras clave : obesity; insulin resistance; metabolic syndrome.
