Relative leg length, metabolic syndrome, obesity.Abstract
Introduction: Assessment of relative leg length (RLL) has become important, not only as a growth indicator, but also because of the possible association of short legs and stature with the presence of metabolic syndrome (MS) or one of its components. Objective: Determine association between delay growth and metabolic syndrome, as well as its components in young adults in Oaxaca. Material and method: Cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 224 students between 18-30 years. RLL, anthropometrics and laboratory testing were measured to make the diagnosis for MS according to Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP-III). For the analysis, extreme groups were chosen (short and long legs) from which the analysis of multiple comparisons of means with each of the clinical, biochemical and anthropometric components of MS was performed, and statistical significance was determined by means of binary logistic regression. Results: It was determined that 10.7% had short legs with a prevalence of MS of 32.5%. No association of short LRP with SM or any of the ATP III components was found. Conclusions: It was determined that the presence of short legs in this population is not related to MS and long legs with its prevention.
