ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/AIMS:
Obesity leads to increased risk of thromboembolic events in adults, but few studies have addressed the relationship between obesity and thrombogenic risk during childhood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prothrombotic state of obese children in comparison with healthy children.METHODS:
Thrombin generation, fibrinogen, and D-dimer levels, along with metabolic parameters, were measured in 72 prepubertal children, of which 47 were obese and 25 eutrophic.RESULTS:
A significant increase in thrombin generation, fibrinogen, and dyslipidemia was found among obese patients.CONCLUSION:
A prothrombotic state develops in childhood obesity during the prepubertal phase.Palabras clave
