Low Muscle Strength Is Associated with Metabolic Risk Factors in Colombian Children: The ACFIES Study

Abstract: PurposeIn youth, poor cardiorespiratory and muscular strength are associated with elevated metabolic risk factors. However, studies examining associations between strength and risk factors have been done exclusively in high income countries, and largely in Caucasian cohorts. The aim of this study was to assess these interactions in schoolchildren in Colombia, a middle income Latin American country.MethodsWe measured body mass index, body composition, handgrip strength (HG), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and … Show more

“…81 . We have also observed in Colombian children with low birth weight for gestational age evaluated at 10 years old, that those in the highest quartile of BMI were those with the highest CRP concentrations, had higher HOMA index of insulin resistance and a larger amount of fat mass but lower handgrip strength, and a higher metabolic risk index 82 . Low handgrip strength is a known risk factor for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in adults in the PURE study 83 , and in patients with Prediabetes and DM2 of the ORIGIN study 84 .…”

“…Local evidence from the cities of Bogotá showed that 55% of the children and adolescents from Bogotá were under the healthy fitness zone. 47 Similarly, studies from Cali and Bucaramanga showed that 60% 50 and 73% 49 of girls and 52% 50 and 72% 49 of boys did not achieve the healthy fitness zone, respectively.…”

“…46 A grade of INC was assigned to the fitness indicator considering the limited data available for the country. However, the RWG highlighted the surveillance efforts from cities, such as Bogotá, 47,48 Bucaramanga, 49 and Cali, 50 to measure the cardiorespiratory fitness of children and youth. A recommended "healthy fitness zone" for cardiorespiratory fitness, below which the risk of chronic diseases is elevated, 51 Colombia.…”

“…Data from Bogota also included the International Study of Childhood Obesity, Lifestyle and Environment (ISCOLE) in 2012, 18 and the Biennial Survey of Culture for 2013. 19 Data from Bucaramanga and its metropolitan area also included the Study of Active and Sedentary Behaviors in Children from preschool to 4th grade (Caracterización de los Comportamientos Activos y Sedentarios en Niños desde Preescolar hasta 4° de la Ciudad de Bucaramanga y su Área Metropolitana), 20,21 and a study of the relationships of cardiorespiratory fitness, strength and body composition with metabolic risk factors in school children (Asociación entre la Capacidad Cardiorrespiratoria, la Fuerza Muscular y la Composición Corporal con Factores de Riesgo Metabólicos en Niños Escolares de Bucaramanga, Colombia [ACFIES] 22 ). Data for Cali also included a survey of risk factors for adult NCDs in the school-age population ( 23 ).…”
