Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, BrazilTitle: Correlation Between Gestational Variables And Cardiometabolic Risk In Adolescence Is Sex Dependent
Abstract:
This is a cross-sectional study with 49 adolescents, performed in an Adolescent Health Center in state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Adolescent variables were collected in a scheduled visit, when sociodemographic (sex and age), clinical (diastolic and systolic blood pressure), anthropometric (weight, height, BMI and waist circumference [WC]), biochemical (glucose, total cholesterol, LDL-c, HDL-c, triglycerides and leptin) and at birth (birth weight and gestational age) variables were evaluated. Gestational variables were collected through an interview performed with adolescents’ mothers, when pregestational weight and height, pregestational BMI, gestational weight gain (GWG) and type of delivery were registered. Nonparametric statistical analysis was performed for the general sample and divided by sex.
