Patients were recruited by non-probabilistic sampling, conforming two groups: cases and controls, with 25 subjects each.Results: it was determined in 15 patients (60%) with acanthosis nigricans presented insulin resistance; Of these, 6 patients (24%) and 19 patients (76%) were classified as moderate acanthosis nigricans, being more predictive of insulin resistance in subjects with obesity (p = 0.001). Patients with severe obesity and acanthosis nigricans had an OR of 54 (2.85-99.32) while patients diagnosed with obesity and moderate acanthosis nigricans had an OR of 12 (1.29-86.20).Conclusion: moderate and severe acanthosis nigricans in children and adolescents with obesity constitutes a cutaneous sign of insulin resistance |
