Abstract
El aumento progresivo de la obesidad en la población escolar chilena es preocupante, los niños mapuches, corren un riesgo alto de ser obesos, debido a la rápida transculturación y el acceso deficiente a información de salud pública. El propósito del estudio fue comparar variables antropometricas y su relación con el riesgo cardiometabólico en niños Mapuches y no-Mapuches, pertenecientes a colegios rurales de la IX Región de Chile. Se evaluaron 239 escolares (118 niñas y 121 niños) entre 6 y 12 años, pertenecientes a 3 colegios de rurales de la comuna de Cholchol, Imperial y Galvarino de la región de la Araucanía Chile, perteneciendo 177 escolares a la etnia mapuche, participaron de la investigación de forma voluntaria. Se recolectaron datos respecto a descendencia étnica (mapuche, no mapuche), edad, peso, talla, circunferencia cintura (CC), relación cintura estatura (RCE) y el índice de masa corporal (IMC). En la comparación por sexo y etnia no existieron diferencias significativas (p>0,05). Las variables Antropométricas de peso, CC, RCE, IMC fueron mayores en los sujetos con obesidad y presentaron significancia (p<0.001). El IMC presentó elevada correlación con el CC y presentó significancia (p<0,001). El resultado de la correlación de variables en población Mapuche del IMC con el CC fue mayor (0,909, p<0,001), en comparación a los no-Mapuches. En esta investigación reportó una elevada prevalencia de malnutrición por exceso 43,9% del grupo total estudiado y una alta relación entre el IMC, el CC y la RCE, siendo mayor está en los niños con etnia mapuche
The progressive increase of obesity in the Chilean school population is worrisome, Mapuche children are at high risk of being obese, due to rapid transculturation and poor access to public health information. The purpose of the study was to compare anthropometric variables and their relationship with cardiometabolic risk in Mapuche and non-Mapuches children, belonging to rural schools of the IX Region of Chile. A total of 239 schoolchildren (118 girls and 121 boys) between 6 and 12 years of age were evaluated, belonging to 3 rural schools in the Cholchol, Imperial and Galvarino communes of the Araucanía region of Chile, belonging to 177 Mapuche students. the investigation on a voluntary basis. Data were collected regarding ethnic descent (Mapuche, non-Mapuche), age, weight, height, waist circumference (WC), waist height ratio (SBC) and body mass index (BMI). In the comparison by sex and ethnic group, there were no significant differences (p> 0.05). The anthropometric variables of weight, CC, ROSC, BMI were higher in subjects with obesity and presented significance (p <0.001). The BMI showed high correlation with CC and presented significance (p <0.001). The result of the correlation of variables in Mapuche population of BMI with CC was higher (0.909, p <0.001), compared to non-Mapuches. This study reported a high prevalence of malnutrition due to excess of 43.9% of the total group studied and a high relationship between BMI, CC and RCE, being higher in children with Mapuche ethnicity
