The identification of children who may have increased cardiovascular risk in the future could be an important prevention strategy. Our aim was to assess the clinical, analytical, and dietary variables associated with arterial stiffness (AS), measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) in a prepubescent population with metabolically healthy obesity (MHO). Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study in prepubescent subjects with obesity who had ≤1 metabolic syndrome criteria (abdominal perimeter and blood pressure ≥90th percentile, triglycerides >150 mg/dL, HDL-cholesterol < 0.0001), BMI (r = 0.44; p < 0.0001), WHtR (r = 0.26; p = 0.02), fasting insulin levels (r = 0.28; p = 0.02), and insulin resistance (Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) index) (r = 0.25; p = 0.04). Multiple linear regression analysis identified BMI and HOMA-IR as independent parameters associated with cfPWV. Conclusions: Prepubescent children with obesity who were shown to be metabolically healthy presented with arterial stiffness, which is closely related to BMI and the state of insulin resistance. 10.3390/ijerph17196995 1660-4601 1661-7827 International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health http://hdl.handle.net/10668/4377 32987856 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12105/18125 Arterial stiffness Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity Prepubescent population Mediterranean diet Insulin resistance Metabolically healthy obesity Rigidez vascular Velocidad de la onda del pulso carotídeo-femoral Dieta mediterránea Resistencia a la insulina Obesidad metabólica benigna Metabolically Healthy Obesity: Presence of Arterial Stiffness in the Prepubescent Population
