HIPERTENSIÓN ARTERIAL EN NIÑOS ESCOLARES CON SOBREPESO Y OBESIDAD
Abstract
Se realizó un estudio transversal con el objetivo de determinar la relación del sobrepeso y obesidad, estimada a través de índice de masa corporal, y la hipertensión arterial en niños escolares de una escuela primaria urbana de Guadalajara, Jalisco. Participaron 144 estudiantes de 9 a 12 años de edad. El sobrepeso y la obesidad se determinaron a través del IMC utilizando los criterios del CDC. La hipertensión arterial se clasificó en base los valores de la Task Force Blood Pressure Control in Children and Adolescents. Los datos fueron analizados en Epi Info 6 versión 6.04, mediante la prueba X2, explorando la asociación de variables a través de OR e IC al 95%. La prevalencia de HTA de los escolares evaluados fue de 13-19%, mientras que de obesidad y sobrepeso fue de 36.8% y 15.28%, respectivamente. La asociación de obesidad e HTA fue de 28.3%, siendo esto significativo (OR 5.28: IC 95%= 1.63, 22.6), concentrándose en niños de sexo masculino. Los escolares con sobrepeso no tuvieron HTA, pero 4.55% ellos presentaron prehipertensión.
Abstract
Cross-sectional study aimed at determining the relationship between obesity and overweight, estimated through the body mass index (BMI), and high blood pressure on schoolchildren from an elementary school of Guadalajara, Jalisco. In which 144 from 9 to 12 years old students participated. Overweight and obesity were determined with BMI using the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criterio. Hypertension was classified based on the values of the Task Force Blood Pressure Control in Children and Adolescents. Data were analyzed at Epi info 6 version 6.04, through X2 test, exploring variables association through OR and IC at 95%. The prevalence of HBP from evaluated schoolchildren was 13-19%, whereas obesity and overweight were 36.8% y 15.28%, respectively. The association of obesity and HBP was 28.3%, being this significant (OR 5.28: CI 95%= 1.63, 22.6), focusing on male children. Schoolchildren with overweight did not have hypertension, but 4.55% from them presented pre high blood pressure.
