Resumo
ACOSTA-GARCIA, Edgar e CONCEPCION-PAEZ, María. Cardiometabolic index as a predictor of cardiovascular risk factors in adolescents. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.3, pp.340-345. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v20n3.61259.
Objective
To evaluate the ability of the Cardiometabolic Index (CMI) to predict alterations in fasting glucose concentrations, dyslipidemia and hypertension in adolescents.
Materials and Methods
Descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study. 278 adolescents aged between 12 and 15 years were evaluated. Serum glucose, triglycerides and HDL-C were determined and the TG/HD-C ratio was estimated. Weight, height and waist circumference were measured and body mass index, conicity index and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were determined. The product of WHtR and TG/HDL-C was the Cardiometabolic Index (CMI). Blood pressure was determined.
Results
The area under the ROC curve of the CMI as a predictor of dyslipidemia, hypertension (AHT) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) was 0.777 (CI 95% = 0.712 to 0.842), 0.710 (CI 95% = 0.559 to 0.853) and 0.564 (CI 95% = 0.447 to 0.682), respectively.
Conclusion
In the studied sample, CMI showed ability to predict dyslipidemia and hypertension, but not IFG.
