“…However, we doubt that was the case in our study, because at the start of the current study the prevalence of overweight and obesity in the elementary school children was at least as high as in our previous study, which was carried out in 2004 on this age group. In a systematic review and meta‐analysis of Greek studies carried out between 2001 and 2010 on the prevalence of overweight and obesity, using the IOTF criteria, there was an upward trend between 2001 and 2003 followed by stabilisation between 2003 and 2010 . Furthermore, during the period of our study, no obesity interventions were targeted at our study cohort, either by us or by other state or private healthcare providers.…”

Background: Pharmacological treatment of obesity and glucose-insulin metabolism disorders in children may be more difficult than in adults. Thus, we evaluate the effects of metformin in comparison with metformin plus a polysaccharide complex (Policaptil Gel Retard®, PGR) on body weight and metabolic parameters in obese children and adolescents with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Patients and methods: We retrospectively collected 129 children and adolescents (67 girls, 62 boys; median age 12.6 years) treated for a minimum of two years with metformin and low glycemic index (LGI) diet. Of these, 71 patients were treated with metformin plus PGR after at least 12 months of metformin alone. To minimize the confounding effect of the LGI on auxological and metabolic parameters, the patients were compared with age-, sex-, and BMI-matched control group with obesity and MetS (51 subjects; 24 males, 27 females) treated only with a LGI diet. Assessments included lipids, glucose and insulin (fasting and after oral glucose tolerance test) concentrations. The Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), Matsuda, insulinogenic and disposition indices were calculated. Results: Metformin treatment led to a significant reduction in BMI SDS (p < 0.0001), with a significant difference in ΔBMI SDS between patients and controls (p < 0.0001). Moreover, metformin treated patients showed a reduction in HOMA-IR (p < 0.0001), HbA1c levels (p < 0.0001) and a significant increase in Matsuda index (p < 0.0001) in respect to the reduction discovered in controls (p < 0.05). Moreover, in contrast to the group treated with metformin alone and controls, patients treated with metformin plus PGR showed a further reduction in BMI SDS (p < 0.0001), HOMA-IR (p < 0.0001), HbA1c (p < 0.0001), total, HDL and LDL cholesterol (p < 0.0001), as well as an increase in Matsuda (p < 0.0001), disposition (p < 0.005) and insulinogenic (respectively, p < 0.05 and p < 0.0001) indices. Conclusions: Metformin appears to show short-term efficacy in reducing BMI, adiposity and glucose and insulin parameters in obese children and adolescents with MetS. However, PGR added to metformin may be useful to potentiate weight loss and to improve glucose-insulin metabolism and adiposity parameters in these patients.

Пермская государственная медицинская академия им. Е.А. Вагнера, Российская Федерация В настоящее время во всех странах мира отмечается увеличение числа лиц, страдающих ожирением. При этом известно, что избыточная масса тела у детей является фактором риска ожирения в старшем возрасте. Цель исследования: изучить распространенность и гендерные особенности избыточной массы тела и ожирения у подростков г. Перми. Методы: в исследование включены школьники в возрасте 13-14 лет. Сопоставлены данные медицинских осмотров 2005 и 2013 гг. Всем детям измеряли вес, рост, окружность талии. Рассчитывали индекс массы тела и коэффициент стандартного отклонения. Оценивали половое развитие по критериям Таннера. Результаты: осмотрено 828 подростков (444 -в 2005, 384 -в 2013 г.). В 2005 г. распространенность избыточной массы тела у подростков составила 9, 4%, ожирения -3,1%, в 2013 г. -14,8 и 5,5%, соответственно (р = 0,023 и 0,140 в сравнении с когортой 2005 г.). Подростки с избыточной массой тела, но не с ожирением, существенно опережали своих сверстников с нормальной массой тела по росту (+0,75 ± 1,05 против +0,32 ± 0,96 SD; р = 0,005). Суммарная оценка полового созревания у мальчиков с избыточной массой тела была выше, чем у детей с нормальной массой тела и ожирением (р = 0,012). Заключение: в период с 2005 по 2013 г. распространенность избыточной массы тела (включая ожирение) среди подростков увеличилась более чем наполовину. В 2013 г. избыточная масса тела обнаруживалась уже у каждого пятого подростка. Ключевые слова: подростки, избыточная масса тела, ожирение, эпидемиология, гендерные отличия. (Вопросы современной педиатрии. 2014; 13 (5): 37-41) Background: Currently, there is a well-publicised worldwide increase in obese patients. The origins of adult obesity, in the majority of cases, are in children. Objective: Our aim was to study the prevalence and gender features of excess weight and obesity in adolescents in Perm. Methods: The study included adolescents aged 13-14, living in the city of Perm. Medical examinations were compared in statistics from 2005 and 2013. Weight, height and waist circumference were measured on all children. Body mass index was calculated, as wasa standard deviation coefficient. Sexual development was evaluated according to the criteria of Tanner. Results: 828 adolescents were viewed (444 in 2005 and 384 in 2013). The prevalence of overweight adolescents in 2005 was 12.5%, including 3.1% who were obese. In 2013, 20.3% of adolescents were diagnosed as overweight, with 5.5% being diagnosed as obese. Abdominal obesity to type was diagnosed in 52.4% of obese children. Over the past 8 years, the number of adolescents who are overweight and obese has increased by more than half. A statistically significant increase has beenrecorded for overweight adolescents ( 2 = 5,16; p = 0,023). In adolescents with excess body weight, growth rates were higher than in those children with either normal body weight or obesity; these differences were statistically significant in boys (p = 0.016). The total score of puberty i...
