Resumen
Abstract
This study explored the association between pubertal stage and anthropometric and
cardiometabolic risk factors in youth. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2877 Colombian
children and adolescents (9–17.9 years of age). Weight, height, and waist circumference were
measured and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. A biochemical study was performed to
determine the cardiometabolic risk index (CMRI). Blood pressure was evaluated and pubertal stage
was assessed with the Tanner criteria. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were performed.
The most significant variable (p < 0.05) in the prognosis of cardiometabolic risk was found to be the
BMI in both boys and girls. In the case of girls, the pubertal stage was also a CMRI predictive factor.
In conclusion, BMI was an important indicator of cardiovascular risk in both sexes. Pubertal stage
was associated with cardiovascular risk only in the girls.
