Association between metabolic and hemodynamic diseases in obese children and their mothers

Abstract

Study Model: Original Study
Objective: To analyze possible associations between hemodynamic and metabolic profile of obese children and adolescents and their mothers. Methods: The study had longitudinal design with 69 children and adolescents, aged between six and 15 (10,6 ± 3,04) years old. Specific assessments to body composition (fat free mass, fat mass and percentage fat), blood pressure (blood pressure systolic and diastolic) and biochemical analysis of blood plasma (glucose, total cholesterol and its fractions) of children were analyzed. Among the mothers was carried out an assessment of body composition by anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance, blood pressure and application of inquiry self-report diseases. To treatment statistic were applied descriptive analyze, independent Student‘s test and test for association between maternal disorders with their children by Mc Nemar test, adopting pd” 0,05. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software version 17.0 (Statistical Package for Social Science, SPSS Inc,Illinois, USA). Results: Diabetic or hypertensive mothers contribute to the presence or absence of disorders in glucose, blood pressure systolic or diastolic in their children, as well as, when mothers has more than one cardiovascular risk variable their children had some disorder metabolic or hemodynamic too. Conclusion: The present study notes association between metabolic and hemodynamic variables of children and adolescents with their mothers.
