ABSTRACT

Objective. To study the results related to the somatic, clinical and biochemical characteristics of obese children, attended in an outside clinic of a general hospital.
Material and methods. Seventy six obesity patients, 37 girls and 39 boys were studied. In all of them a clinical history was obtained and a careful clinical exam was done. Determinations of glucose and insulin, the curve of glucose tolerance the lipids profile were studied.
Results. The frequency of inherit-family background for obesity and diseases related to obesity were higher in boys and girls. The physical inactivity and the time of the day which they dedicated to watch the television, both, were found in most of the children. The frequency of patients with abnormal lipids was high; insulin resistance was found in 28.2% of children and the HOMA in 17.9%. The hypertension was abnormal in seven of each ten children.
Conclusions. It is necessary to subject the obese children to studies usually done in obese adults, because the frequency of lipids alterations and the insulin resistance to glucose, and hypertension are also in the obese children.
