However, the data have been primarily from the Mexican\u2010American community. We studied the prevalence of overweight and clinical comorbidities in children and youth of predominantly El Salvadoran ancestry.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Research Methods and Procedures<\/jats:italic>: A sample of 309 Hispanic youth, 6\u201318 years was surveyed from two inner city Washington, DC, clinics. BMI; triceps skinfold (TSF) and subscapular skinfold thickness (SSSF); bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA); and blood pressure measures were obtained, along with information regarding physical activity, sedentary behavior, dietary history, family, and personal medical history.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: Thirty\u2010eight percent were overweight (BMI \u2265 95th percentile) and 22% at risk for overweight (BMI 85\u201394th percentile). Thirty\u2010four percent had TSF \u2265 90th percentile and 29% had SSSF \u2265 90th percentile. Fifty\u2010one percent of males and 70% of females had body fat &gt; 30%. Compared to their nonoverweight counterparts, overweight youth had significantly higher systolic blood pressure (111.4 \u00b1 1.3 vs. 104.5 \u00b1 0.9 mm Hg, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.0001). Among children younger than 11 years, overweight was associated with onset of adrenarche (23% vs. 10%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.01). Participation in one or more sports teams was negatively correlated with overweight) <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.04).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Discussion<\/jats:italic>: The prevalence of overweight and at risk for overweight in this sample was twice the national average for U.S. children and 1.7 times greater than that of Mexican\u2010American children in national surveys. Overweight was associated with advanced pubertal development, high body fat, elevated blood pressure, and decreased sports participation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2004.164","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,21]],"date-time":"2008-04-21T09:21:54Z","timestamp":1208769714000},"page":"1298-1310","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Prevalence of Overweight among Inner City Hispanic\u2010American Children and Adolescents"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Nazrat M.","family":"Mirza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kathleen","family":"Kadow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matilde","family":"Palmer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heidi","family":"Solano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claire","family":"Rosche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jack A.","family":"Yanovski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.112.2.424"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.288.14.1728"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.102.3.e29"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"95","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.aje.a114378","article-title":"Changes in ponderosity and blood pressure in childhood: the Muscatine Study","volume":"124","author":"Clarke W.","year":"1986","journal-title":"Am J Epidemiol."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.HYP.2.4.124"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"515","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1985.03360040069027","article-title":"Relationship of changes in obesity to serum lipid and lipoprotein changes in childhood and adolescence","volume":"254","author":"Freedman D.
