Relationship between sexual maturation and anthropometric and blood pressure indicators in teenagers
CIENCIA & SAUDE COLETIVA(2022)
摘要
This study aimed to investigate the rela-tionship between sexual maturation and anthro-pometric and blood pressure indicators in teena-gers. This was a population-based cross-sectional study, conducted with 345 teenagers, aged 10 to 19 years, between 2018 and 2020. In this study, data referent to sociodemographic and anthropometric variables, blood pressure, and sexual maturation were collected. The data analysis was performed by applying the Principle Component Analysis (PCA), which generated three components and then tested the correlation between sexual ma-turation and the generated components. Most of the teenagers were female (53%), normotensive (66.1%), and with a normal weight (73%). A positive correlation was found between breast de-velopment and component 1 and component 2, as well as a negative correlation between the breasts and component 3. In the boys, the development of genitals and pubic hair was positively correlated with component 2 and inversely correlated with component 3. It could therefore be concluded that there is a relationship between sexual maturation and the anthropometric and blood pressure indi-cators, which proved to be representative variables for cardiovascular risk in teenagers, even if not in their entirety.
