Components of the metabolic syndrome in Mexican school children stunted, normal weight and overweight. Obesity, stunting and anemia are problems that coexist among Mexican children in rural populations that share the same geographical territory; this grants them differentiated risks. The objective of this research was to determine the magnitude of risk and the association of metabolic syndrome indicators among school children. A transversal analytic study was performed for a probabilistic sample of 746 school children from the State of Hidalgo, Mexico, for whom alimentary security, the Z score of BMI, HA and central adiposity were determined; blood pressure was measured and hemoglobin was quantified in order to detect anemia. It was quantified in serum: glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and insulin; HOMA index was calculated. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in children of normal weight and height was of 3.4 %, 6.4 % in short stature, 15.7 % in over weight and 38.4 % in obesity. In the group of children with anemia, the lowest OR insulin were recorded (0.39, IC=0.18- 0.87) and HOMA (0.21, IC=0.05-0.87); as for children with obesity these scores were the highest (5.42, IC=3.07-9.54 and 4.12, IC=2.05-8.29). It is concluded that there is a lower metabolic risk in anemia and that overweight and obesity are associated with dyslipidemia and impaired insulin secretion.
