Article Synopsis
- The study assessed atherosclerotic risk factors in children aged 2 to 17 in South-Southeast Mexico, focusing on atherogenic indices (AI) and cardiovascular factors.
- The results indicated a high prevalence of atherogenic risk, particularly among preschoolers and adolescents, with specific indices (like LDL-c/ApoB and AIP) showing strong associations with metabolic syndrome and dyslipidemia.
- The findings highlight the need for further research on cardiovascular health in children, emphasizing BMI's role as a significant risk factor and positioning AIP as the most effective index for detecting metabolic issues.
