Resumen:
Obesity is related to an increase in the rates of cardiovascular disease. Objective: To establish the impact of obesity on vascular function (endothelial function and arterial stiffness) in children and adolescents and its relation to cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: In obese children and adolescents, endothelial function and arterial stiffness were evaluated by pulse plesthysmography method (reactive hyperaemia and index of digital volume waveforms, respectively). Data were compared with non-obese group (Body Mass Index (BMI): >10th -
