Table 3 General characteristics and comparisons of the variables before and after treatment 2. Descriptive results from Mestizos ethnic group 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). T2 consisted on Physical Activity program, Health education program, Parent involvement and Nutrition program
