Examine weight in young Hispanic children over a two-year period; investigate the relationships among overweight, physical activity, caloric intake, and family history in the development of the metabolic syndrome (MS). METHODS: Forty-seven children (ages 5-8) from diverse Hispanic backgrounds recruited from elementary schools were evaluated. Laboratory analyses, anthropometric data, and measures of physical activity and caloric intake were included. RESULTS: The majority of the children were overweight at baseline (66%) and at follow-up (72%). Children who were overweight at baseline were more likely to exhibit MS at follow-up than were those who were not overweight at baseline. CONCLUSIONS: Overweight appears to be an independent predictor of MS among Hispanic children.
在两年时间内对西班牙裔幼儿的体重进行检查；调查超重、身体活动、热量摄入和家族史在代谢综合征（MS）发展过程中的关系。方法：对从小学招募的47名来自不同西班牙裔背景的儿童（5 - 8岁）进行评估。包括实验室分析、人体测量数据以及身体活动和热量摄入的测量。结果：大多数儿童在基线时超重（66%），在随访时超重（72%）。基线时超重的儿童在随访时比基线时不超重的儿童更有可能表现出MS。结论：超重似乎是西班牙裔儿童MS的一个独立预测因素。
