Article Synopsis
- - Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is linked to obesity and may indicate cardiometabolic disorders; this study explores whether the severity of AN in children can help in screening for these issues.
- - The research focused on 95 obese school-age children in Mexico City, using Burke's scale to evaluate AN severity, along with anthropometric and biochemical measurements to assess their health status.
- - Results showed that higher AN severity was associated with increased blood pressure, triglycerides, and decreased adiponectin, suggesting it may be a useful tool for identifying at-risk children and preventing obesity-related complications.
