OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence and distribution of dyslipidemia among urban children from Buenos Aires (BA) versus Koya Indian from San Antonio de los Cobres (SAC). METHODS: Anthropometric measures, blood pressure, Tanner stages, glucose, lipids and insulin were measured. Dyslipidemia was defined by the NCEP (the National Cholesterol Education Program standards) & AHA ( American Heart Association) criteria. RESULTS: The mean ages were 10.6±3.0 of SAC and 9.5±2.0years of BA children. Of the 603 BA children, 97 (16.1%) were overweight (OW) and 82 (13.6%) obese (OB), and of 330 SAC, 15 (4.5%) were OW and 12 (3.6%) OB (p<0.01). Twenty six percent SAC vs 2.5% BA children ate≥5 servings/day of fruits and vegetables ( p<0.001), 30% SAC vs 59% BA children watched TV≥2hrs/day( p<0.001), and 8.2% SAC vs 13.1% BA children skipped breakfast( p<0.001). In separate linear regression models, we found that SAC children had a 1.8mmol/L (p<0.001) higher hemoglobin, a 0.56mmol/L higher triglycerides (p<0.001), a 0.15mmol/L higher total cholesterol (p=0.001), a 0.19mmol/L higher LDL-C ( p<0.001), and a 0.33mmol/L lower HDL-C ( p<0.001) than BA children adjusted for confounding factors. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that SAC children have a higher risk for dyslipidemia in comparison with BA children, even though BA children had a higher BMI, suggesting that dyslipidemia could be related to their genetic backgrounds. |
