Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (DM2) is a chronic disease characterized by absolute or relative failure of a hormone produced by the pancreas, called insulin and is characterized by an alteration in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates^[1-3].
Objective: Identify whether the high birth weight in children aged 7 to 11 years is a predictor for the association of overweight and obesity with diabetes mellitus.
Method: A descriptive study was conducted with a design case - control with children born between January 1992 and December 1995.
Results: Encontramos in the study group that overweight 2.85% is pre diabetic and 1, 44% diabetic, in obese 1.42% is pre-diabetic and diabetic 3.56%, where there Fisher’s P = 0.0002 association between nutritional status (overweight, obesity) pre diabetes and diabetes; in the control group, in overweight we found that 3.00% diabetic and diabetic pre 0.00% in obese diabetic pre 1.00% and 2.00% with a diabetic Fisher’s P = 0, 0343, existing association between nutritional status and pre-diabetes and diabetes in this group association between nutritional status and diabetes was also found, so there is no difference in the two groups, but we must note that in the study group his association was stronger. In our study is not high birth weight per, association for diabetes.
Conclusion: The high birth weight (macrosomia) does not constitute per se a predictor for the association of malnutrition by excess and diabetes, association for excess malnutrition and diabetes in both groups.
