Ability of TyG Index as a Marker of Insulin Resistance in Argentinean School Children.

Objective: To determine if the triglycerides and glucose index (TyG) can be used as a marker for insulin resistance (IR) in Argentinean schoolchildren according to age and sex.

Methods: Anthropometric data, blood glucose levels, lipid profiles, and insulin levels were measured. The TyG index was defined by Ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dL)* fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2].

Cardiometabolic markers among Argentinean normal weight and overweight children with and without central obesity.

Background: The association between central obesity and cardiometabolic complications justifies exploring its association in normal-weight and overweight/obese (OW/OB) schoolchildren.

Objective: To describe cardiometabolic markers in four groups according to BMI/WC categories: (i) normal weight with central OB; (ii) normal weight without central OB; (iii) OW/OB with central OB and (iv) OW/OB without central OB, in a sample of Argentinean schoolchildren.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of 1264 Argentinean schoolchildren (624 F), aged 9.

Influence of Telemedicine on the Number of Visits and HbA1c Determinations in Latin American Children with Type 1 Diabetes.

To measure the changes in the number of medical visits and the number of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) determinations according to telemedicine access in children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) during the pandemic 2020 compared with 2019 and 2018. This is a multinational study of children with T1DM from four Latin American countries. The number of medical visits, the number of HbA1c determinations, and access to telemedicine during 2020 were extracted from their records.

Association Between High Birth Weight and Later Central Obesity in 9-Year-Old Schoolchildren.

Studies have suggested that birth weight (BW) is associated with body mass index (BMI), but its association with waist circumference (WC) in children should be further explored. To determine the association between central obesity (OB) in 9-year-old Argentinean schoolchildren and high BW. Schoolchildren ( = 2567, 1157 males) aged 8.

Adiposity, lifestyle behaviors, and cardiometabolic markers in Argentinean schoolchildren.

Background: We determined the association between schoolchildren's OW/OB with age, sex, lifestyle behaviors, and cardiometabolic markers.

Methods: Age, sex, anthropometric measures, and BP (blood pressure) were recorded in 1249 (554 M) schoolchildren. OW/OB was defined as BMI > 85%ile and BMI > 95%ile respectively.
