    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-11-12) Flores Flores, Luz Marisol; Sandoval Vegas, Miguel Hernán
    Objective: To evaluate and compare serum glucose concentrations and lipid profiles according to BMI and sex in children aged 6 to 12 years at the Maternal and Child Health Center in Surquillo, 2019. Methodology: Retrospective, analytical, cross-sectional, and non-experimental design. The study included 50 children aged 6 to 12 who attended the child health campaign at the Maternal and Child Health Center in Surquillo. Results: No statistically significant differences were found for age and sex according to BMI (Chi-square, p > 0.05). Also, 70.0% of the study population had altered BMI, of which 36% were overweight and 34% were obese. The highest glucose level found was 102 mg/dl; the highest triglyceride level was 175 mg/dl, and the highest cholesterol level was 257 mg/dl. For HDL cholesterol, the lowest level found was 29.3 mg/dl, while for LDL cholesterol, the highest level was 186 mg/dl. Finally, the highest VLDL cholesterol level found was 35 mg/dl. Both altered parameters were observed in the overweight group. Glucose, cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol had higher means in girls; HDL cholesterol was lower in girls, and triglycerides and VLDL cholesterol levels were variable for both sexes. Conclusion: No statistically significant differences in glucose and lipid profile were found according to BMI and sex (ANOVA, p > 0.05).
