Table 2 General characteristics and comparisons of the variables before and after treatment 1. Descriptive results related ethnic groups (Mestizos, Seris, Yaquis) at baseline and after treatments (AT) comparison. Outcomes were BMI (Body mass index), TC (Total Cholesterol), LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein), HDL (High Density Lipoprotein), GL (Glucose), HbA1c (Glycosylated hemoglobin). m (median), IQR (Inter Quartile Range, Q1-Q3). T1 consisted on Physical Activity Program, Health education program and Parent
