| Resumo: | Objectives: To assess the prevalence and clustering pattern of risk factors for
cardiometabolic diseases among low-income female adolescents. Methods: A crosssectional
study involving 196 students of public schools (11-19 years). The following
risk factors were considered for analysis: weight excess, central obesity,
dyslipidemia, high blood pressure, and high fasting glucose. The ratio between
observed and expected prevalence and its confidence interval were used to identify
combinations of risk factors that exceed the expected prevalence in the population.
Results: The most prevalent risk factors were dyslipidemia (70.9%), and central
obesity (39.8%), followed by weight excess (29.6%), and high blood pressure
(12.8%). A total of 42.9% of adolescents had two or more risk factors and 24% three
or more. Weight excess, central obesity, and dyslipidemia were common risk factors
among the clustering patterns that had observed prevalence higher than expected.
Conclusions: The clustering of risk factors (≥ two factors) among the adolescents
had a considerable prevalence, as well as a not casual coexistence of weight excess,
central obesity, and dyslipidemia (mainly low HDL-cholesterol). |
