Summary
From a cross-sectional sample of 3889 Biscayan students aged from 4 to 24 years, subcutaneous fat distribution patterns of both, normal and obese, were obtained. In spite that obesity has a rather low frequency (10.2% in boys and 9.4% in girls), its association with high levels of central fat, in both sexes, is much higher than founded in non obese at any age. Surveillance in the calculation of obesity frequency from infant and young Basque population and the study of its anthropological constraints are a valuable task for any health education program in the community.Sing up and download the publications of Eusko Ikaskuntza
