| Abstract | OBJETIVE: To identify the relationship between the cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors and the intake of energy and nutrients in adolescents with overweight or obesity of the public school Scipion E. Llona, Miraflores. METHODS: This was a cross sectional study of 85 adolescents, boys and girls from 11 to 14 years old with overweight or obesity, they were selected from a total of 430 adolescents by using the reference population of Must et al. with the following diagnosis criteria: 85 to 95 percentile, overweight; higher than 95 percentile, obese. RESULTS: 40% (n=34) were obese. The average of waist circumference was higher in obese (84.6 cm) than in the overweight adolescents (76.7 cm). The overweight adolescents had lower values of systolic (SBP) and dyastolic blood pressure (DBP) than the obese (p<0.05). The antecedent of obesity in the mother was the most important. The analysis of lipid profile was made in a subsample of 38 adolescents. The average of total-cholesterol (TC), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides (TG) were higher in the obese than in the overweight adolescents.The HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) was 40 mg/dl and 43 mg/dl, respectively. The intake of energy, protein, fat and carbohydrate was higher in obese (2358 kcal, 81,9 g, 72 g y 370,5 g, respectively). The adolescents at ‘risk’ by waist circumference, TC, LDL-C and TG showed higher intakes than the adolescents with ‘no risk’. CONCLUSIONS: The waist circumference and triglycerides were the predominant cardiovascular risk factors in obese. The adolescents with obesity showed an energy, fat, saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat and carbohydrates intake significatively higher (p<0.05) in comparison with the intake of the adolescents with overweight. The energy, proteins, fat, saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates and fiber intake was significatively associated (p<0.05) with the anthropometric and biochemical CVR factors, except for the HDL-C. |
