Introducción: el inicio de la prediabetes en edades pediátricas se ha convertido en un problema cada vez más frecuente, donde la obesidad juega un papel relevante. Los pacientes con prediabetes en la infancia presentan una alta prevalencia de señales aterogénicas tempranas (SAT), las cuales constituyen factores de riesgo para enfermedad cardiovascular, esto conduce a una alteración precoz de la función endotelial.
Objetivo: determinar la asociación entre las SAT detectadas y la aterosclerosis subclínica en niños y adolescentes con diagnóstico reciente de prediabetes.
Método: se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal con 31 niños y adolescentes entre 5 y 18 años de edad con diagnóstico reciente de prediabetes, atendidos en el Instituto de Endocrinología de Cuba, durante noviembre 2015 a noviembre 2016. Las principales variables estudiadas fueron: edad, sexo, antecedentes patológicos familiares y personales, presencia de obesidad abdominal, tensión arterial, lipidograma, resistencia a la insulina, disfunción endotelial (DE) y grosor íntima media carotideo (GIMC).
Resultados: predominaron los adolescentes, el sexo masculino, los antecedentes familiares de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y personales de obesidad. La obesidad abdominal, tensión arterial normal, lipidograma normal y resistencia insulínica caracterizaron a los pacientes. Se detectó DE en el 19,3 % de los pacientes y GIMC aumentado en el 58 %. En los pacientes con DE y GIMC aumentado, predominó la obesidad abdominal y la resistencia a la insulina.
Conclusiones: desde el momento del diagnóstico de la prediabetes puede existir aterosclerosis subclínica en niños y adolescentes que presentan varias SAT asociadas.
Introduction: The onset of prediabetes at pediatric ages has become in a frequent problem, where obesity plays a relevant role. Patients with prediabetes in childhood have a high prevalence of early atherogenic signs, wich are risk factors for cardiovascular disease and endothelial dysfunction. Objective: To determine the association between the early atherogenic signs and subclinical atherosclerosis in children and adolescents with a recent diagnosis of prediabetes. Method: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 31 children and adolescents between 5 and 18 years of age with recent diagnosis (up to 3 months) of prediabetes, attended at the National Institute of Endocrinology of Cuba from November 2015 to November 2016. The mains variables studied were age, sex, family and personal pathological history, presence of abdominal obesity, blood pressure, lipidograma, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction (ED) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). Results: The male adolescents, family history of type 2 diabetes and personal of obesity prevailed. Abdominal obesity, normal blood pressure, normal lipidograma and insulin resistance characterized the patients. ED was detected in 19, 3% of the patients and CIMT increased in 58%. Abdominal obesity and insulin resistance predominated in patients with ED and CIMT increased. Conclusions: From the time of diagnosis of prediabetes there may be subclinical atherosclerosis in children and adolescents with several early atherogenic signs associated.
