| Abstract | Risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases such as obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome arise during childhood. There is evidence that adiposity in children is associated with risk factors for cardiovascular disease later in life, particularly among the Hispanic population, where vulnerability for the development of chronic non-communicable diseases is greater. The high mortality and morbidity rates of cardiovascular disease in middle-and low-income countries such as Colombia, makes it necessary to delve deeper into the mechanisms related to the biological and epigenetic basis of fetal programming, and the risk to develop cardiometabolic diseases. Based in our published studies, we have evidence that our population is highly prone to having chronic lowgrade inflammation and insulin resistance at lower levels of visceral adiposity, associated with a weaker handgrip, a muscle mass marker. Therefore, we propose that improving physical condition, more particularly aerobic capacity and muscle strength, is an effective intervention to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease in Colombian children and adolescents, through a decrease in the fat mass, chronic lowgrade inflammation markers, and an improvement in both the quality and amount of muscle mass. |
