• Resumen

  • La condición física, adiposidad y distribución grasa observadas en la infancia, han mostrado tener relación con la salud cardiovascular en la edad adulta. Objetivo: evaluar el nivel de condición física en escolares de 7 a 12 años y su relación con niveles saludables de condición aeróbica y distribución grasa.

    Se valoraron 1068 niños y niñas aragoneses de 7-12 años de edad. Se evaluó la condición física con la batería Eurofit y el grado de adiposidad y distribución grasa mediante antropometría.

    Se obtienen valores normativos de condición física. Un 9,1% de los chicos y 4,8% de las chicas presenta riesgo fututo de salud sobre la base de su condición aeróbica. Mejor condición aeróbica se asocia con cantidades significativamente menores de grasa subcutánea total y en el tronco.

    Es importante incorporar la evaluación del nivel de condición física y distribución grasa en la valoración del riesgo de salud desde edades tempranas
