초록

목 적 : 총경동맥의 IMT 측정은 초기 죽상 경화증 변화에 대한 비침습적 marker로 인정되고 있고, 임상에서 실행 가능한 유용한 검사 방법이다. 본 연구는 비만아와 정상 대조군의 경동맥 IMT를 측정하여 두 군 사이에 차이가 있는지 비교해 보고, 체질량지수, 혈압, 혈중 지질치와 같은 심혈관질환 위험인자와의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 9-15세의 비만한 소아 및 청소년 49명(남 41명, 여 32명)과 정상 대조군 24명(남 14명, 여 10명)을 대상으로 신체 계측하고 8시간 공복 상태에서 채혈하여 혈당과 혈중 지질치, adiponectin을 측정하였다. 대상자는 누운 상태에서 7.5MHz 선형 탐촉자를 이용하여 고해상도 B형 초음파로 양측 경동맥 IMT를 측정하였다. 결 과 : 비만군의 mean IMT의 평균은 $0.34{\pm}0.03mm$, 정상 체중군은 $0.31{\pm}0.01mm$로 비만군이 유의하게 높았다(P<0.01). 비만군의 peak IMT의 평균은 $0.42{\pm}0.06mm$, 정상 체중군은 $0.37{\pm}0.05mm$로 비만군이 유의하게 높았다(P<0.01). Mean IMT는 연령(r=0.317, P<0.01), 체질량지수(r=0.431, P<0.01), 총 콜레스테롤(r=0.377, P<0.01), 중성지방(r=0.253, P<0.05), 저밀도 지단백 콜레스테롤(r=0.289, P<0.05)과 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 비만군의 혈중 adiponectin의 평균은 $11.2{\pm}5.7{\mu}g/mL$, 정상 체중군은 $14.7{\pm}7.9{\mu}g/mL$로 비만군이 유의하게 낮았고(P<0.05), mean IMT는 adiponectin(r=-0.267, P<0.05)과 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 결 론 : 비만아에서 경동맥 내중막 두께는 정상 체중아에 비해 유의하게 증가되어 있었으며, 심혈관질환 위험인자와 연관성을 보였다. 따라서 이러한 비만아의 혈관 변화는 소아기 때부터 시작되는 것으로 생각되며, 비만 소아를 대상으로 심혈관질환 위험인자에 대한 조기 검사가 필요하다고 생각된다.

Purpose : The of common carotid artery intima media thickness (IMT) is an acknowledged noninvasive marker for early atherosclerotic changes. We investigate whether common carotid IMT is different between obese and normal-weight children and also evaluate the relationships IMT with cardiovascular risk factors. Methods : We collected the clinical data (age, sex, pubertal stage, body mass index) and measured blood pressure, glucose, insulin, lipid profiles and adiponectin in 49 obese children (mean age, 12 years) and 24 nonobese children as controls. The control group was composed of 24 nonobese children of the same age, sex and pubertal stage. We measured the carotid IMT of all subjects by B-mode ultrasound with a 7.5-MHz linear transducer and analyzed. Results : Obese children demonstrated a significantly thicker intima media (mean, 0.34 mm, peak, 0.42 mm) compared to the control group (mean, 0.31 mm, peak, 0.38 mm, P<0.01). IMT was significantly correlated to the BMI (r=0.431, P<0.01), age (r=0.317, P<0.01), total cholesterol (r=0.377, P< 0.01), triglyceride (r=0.253, P<0.05) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (r=0.289, P<0.05). Serum adiponectin was significantly lower in obese children than in controls (11.2 ng/mL vs. 14.7 ng/mL, P<0.05) and negatively related with IMT (r=-0.267, P<0.05). Conclusion : Obesity is associated with increased carotid artery IMT in children. Our results suggest vascular changes in obesity seem to occur already in childhood and vascular ultrasonography may helpful for screening cardiovascular complications in obese children.
