“…As for body composition, this work found no significant association of sedentary behavior with overweight determined by BMI, nor with the triceps skinfold in percentiles at or above 85 and at or above 95, when analyzed separately or together as observed in other studies 6,9,10,15,21,26,28 . Considering that the causes of obesity are multiple and complex, involving genetic and environmental components, probably in individuals with overweight and/or excess body fat in this sample, other factors, in addition to physical inactivity, should play a more important role in the onset of this characteristic 9,10,11 .…”

“…Despite well established criteria for diagnosis of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in adults, the same is not true for children and adolescents, in part due to the marked physiological changes that occur in this period 1 . However, puberty alone cannot explain the establishment of CVRF, since there are environmental 2 , socioeconomic and psychological conditions 3 that influence onset.…”

SummaryObjective. To estimate prevalence and distribution of cardiovascular risk factors and Metabolic Syndrome (MS) in young individuals admitted to the National University of Colombia in Bogotá.MethOds. An analytic cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 249 individuals of both genders aged 15 to 20 years. A questionnaire was personally administered to collect demographic, socioeconomic, smoking, perinatal, and women's health data. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, and a fasting blood sample were taken. Prevalence of MS was determined and compared using criteria from several qualified institutions. Results. We found a high prevalence of smoking (18.9%), arterial prehypertension (14.1%) and overweight (11.2%), 9.2% of study participants had prediabetes, and the most frequent dyslipidemia was low HDL cholesterol (13.3%). Alcoholic beverage consumption was declared by 60.6% of study participants. Body mass index was associated with significant increases in blood pressure, LDL cholesterol and plasma triglyceride levels. Gestational age at birth was inversely associated with presence of low HDL cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. Prevalence of the MS varied markedly according to the definition employed: 9.2% using REGODCI (Research Group on Diabetes and Chronic Illnesses) criteria, 2% using IDF (International Diabetes Federation) criteria, and 2.4% using AHA (American Heart Association) criteria. cOnclusiOn. The encountered prevalence of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors justifies promotion of therapeutic lifestyle changes among this age group in Colombia. Further harmonization of MS criteria in young individuals is needed. caRdiOvasculaR Risk factORs and MetabOlic syndROMe in a pOpulatiOn Of yOung students fROM the natiOnal univeRsity Of cOlOMbia jOhn edwin felicianO-alfOnsO 1* , caRlOs OliMpO Mendivil 2 , iván daRíO sieRRa aRiza 3 , claRa eugenia péRez 4 Study conducted at

“…However, the cut-off points were adjusted to the age of the study population: triglycerides > 110 mg/dl; HDL < 38 mg/ dl; hypertension (diastolic or systolic) > age-, height-and sexadjusted 95 th percentile 9 . Obesity was defined by a BMI above the 95 th percentile 10 .…”

Background: Because of the need to measure anthropometric, biochemical and hemodynamic variables for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, we realize how difficult it is to analyze large populations, especially children, due to the poor accessibility and the invasive character. There is an urgent need to develop easy-to-use, accurate and low-cost diagnostic tools in order to predict metabolic syndrome at early ages.
