77 Se ha señalado que habría una relación directa
entre retardo de crecimiento intrauterino y enfermedades crónicas
del adulto. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la asociación
entre crecimiento intrauterino y presión arterial en dos cohortes
que nacieron en una ciudad chilena entre 1974-1978. Se definió como
cohorte expuesta a la que tenía un retardo de crecimiento inferior
a menos una desviación estándar (DE) de peso según
edad gestacional y la no expuesta estuvo formada por los que se ubicaban
por sobre -0.5 DE . El tamaño muestral fue de 70 casos por grupo.
Para clasificar el crecimiento intrauterino se utilizó una curva
nacional que considera el peso en relación a la edad gestacional,
considerando sexo y paridad.

It has been pointed out that there is a direct relation between intrauterine
growth retardation and non communicable chronic diseases in adults.
The aim of this study was to analyze the association between fetal
growth and blood pressure in two cohorts born in a Chilean city between
1974 and 1978. The newborn with less of one standard deviation (SD)
of weight in relation of the gestational age constituted the exposed
cohort and those located above -0.5 SD belong to the non exposed cohort.
The sample size was 70 cases by group. A national standard was used
to classify intrauterine growth, this standard considers the weight
in relation to gestational age, including sex and parity.

79 Introduction: HFV has been used as rescue therapy in grave hypoxic
and hypercapnic neonates when conventional mechanical ventilation fails.
The goal of this study was to describe the experience with HFV and
results since its beginning at NICU in 1997.
Conclusions:
80 ANÁLISIS CLINICO DE 27 RECIEN NACIDOS VENTILADOS EN ALTA
RECUENCIA La morbimortalidad en recién nacidos que han requerido ser
ventilados a presión positiva es un problema importante dentro
de las unidades de cuidado intensivo neonatal. La ventilación
de alta frecuencia oscilatoria (VAFO), es una alternativa en el fracaso
de ventilación convencional. El objetivo del estudio es evaluar
su uso en recién nacidos con insuficiencia respiratoria grave.
80 Neonates required to be ventilated with positive pressure is an important problem in units of neonative intensive care. High frequency oscilatory ventilation (HFOV), is an alternative in the failure of conventional ventilation. The objective of the study is to evaluate its use in neonates with serious respiratory failure. Method. Descriptive analysis of 27 neonates required HFOV, a period between November of 1999 and August of the 2001 comparing parameters in conventional ventilation (CV) in HFOV (beginning), at 3 to 5 hours from de beginning and parameters during the HFOV in which the maximum ventilatorias pressures were reached (max). Results. From the 27 neonates, 74% were preterms between 25 and 36 sem and weights between 730-3100g, 26% term new borns with weights until 4250g. The main causes of connection to HFOVwere the failure to CV (44,4%), interstitial Enfisema (22,2%), Neumotórax (11,1%), pulmonary Hypertension (22,2%). The average, maximum and minimum values of Indice of oxigenación(IO) were: 25 (7-48) beginning, 18(7-38) 3-5 hrs, 16(6-36) max; pressure amplitude: 23(20-30) beginning, 26(20-43) 3-5 hrs, 27(20-43) max; Medial airway pressure 12(7-16) beginning, 13(7-24) 3-5 hrs, 14(9-20) max. In two patients the nitric oxide use was required, by the lapse of three days in each one of them. The PaCO2 presented significant reduction from de beginning to the first control between the 3 and 5 hours, the values of CO2 measured by transcutan sensor were similar to the registered ones in arterial gases. Five patients passed away, 3 premature with very bad previous condition, a congenital cardiopathy and one severe sepsis to estreptococo group b. Complications: Six neonates broncopulmonar displasia, one with oxygen dependency to the discharge, 7 intracerebral Hemorrhages, degree I, II and single a degree IV, 2 premature patients of 26 weeks presented pulmonary hemorrhage in their final stage, previous to their decease. Conclusions. The HFOV is a valid alternative in patients with serious respiratory insufficiency, mainly as rescue ventilation.
81 Introducción: Existe evidencia que la administración
de gentamicina para neonatos en dosis de 4 mg/kg/día es más
segura, determina mejores niveles terapéuticos y disminuye la
necesidad del control de los niveles séricos para ajustar las
pautas de dosificación. Como la información es limitada,
se realizó un estudio aleatorio, prospectivo, doble ciego, comparando
las dosis de 4 mg/kg/día (c/24 hs) con la dosis habitual de
2,5 mg/kg/dosis cada 12 hs. en menores de 7 días de edad postnatal
y 2,5 mg/kg/dosis cada 8 horas en mayores de 7 días de edad
postnatal, con el objeto de estudiar la farmacocinética, ajustar
la pauta de dosificación según los resultados y analizar
el posible ahorro de medicación y tiempo de enfermería
y de uso de bombas de infusión si la pauta de menor frecuencia
fuera más efectiva. Materiales y métodos: Se analizaron
12 neonatos de término (Peso mediana: 2,9 kg; rango 2,5 a 3,6
kg) que recibían gentamicina por infección confirmada
ó sospechada. Se excluyeron los casos de insuficiencia renal
oligúrica (creatinina sérica = 1,2 mg/dl, urea > 40
mg/dl, diuresis < 1 ml/kg/hora) ó con asfixia grave. Se determinaron
dos valores de valle y un valor de pico a partir de la segunda o tercera
dosis, según el esquema de tratamiento. En base a los datos
de los monitoreos del fármaco se ajustaron las dosis y las frecuencias
hasta terminar el tratamiento. Resultados: No hubo valores tóxicos
(>12 µg/ml) ni subterapéuticos en niveles de pico.
El análisis farmacocinético de los 12 casos permitió
disminuir en 11 casos la dosis administrada (mediana de la dosis diaria:
3,59 mg/kg/día). A su vez el intervalo mas largo determinó
el ahorro de horas de trabajo de enfermería y menor uso de bombas
de infusión (mediana: 50 %; rango 33% a 66 %). La evolución
clínica de la infección fue satisfactoria en todos los
casos.
81 Introduction: previous works have shown that gentamicin 4 mg/kg /24
hs would be safe in neonate patients. It would also allow to optimize
the therapeutic drug monitoring and doses adjustment. A prospective
and randomized study was carried out in order to compare 4mg/kg/24
hs with standard doses of 2.5 mg/kg/12 hs in neonates with less than
7 days of postnatal age, or 2.5 mg/kg/8 hs in neonates with more than
7 days of postnatal age. Peak and trough levels of gentamicin were
obtained in order to characterize pharmacokinetic of each patient using
bayesian non-linear regression analysis. Dose adjustment was then carried
out and the savings in medication and nursing time, together with the
use of iv infusion pumps, were analyzed in relation with dose regimen.
82 O presente estudo teve como objetivo relacionar o consumo alimentar de adolescentes com a presença de fatores de risco para doenças cardiovasculares (DCV).O estudo foi realizado com 272 adolescentes voluntários de ambos os sexos, com idade 17-19 anos, estudantes do 3º ano do ensino médio do São Paulo. Os alunos participantes do estudo, inicialmente preencheram um questionário sobre a presença de fatores de risco para DCV (histórico familiar e de dislipidemia, uso de anticoncepcional oral, tabagismo, hipertensão arterial e atividade física). Foram também coletados dados sobre peso e altura para cálculo do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). Foi igualmente aplicado um questionário de freqüência alimentar para adolescentes, semiquantitativo, sobre seus hábitos alimentares. Foram obtidos os valores de colesterol total (CT) e frações e de triglicérides (TG). Dos 272 alunos participantes, 51% (n=139) eram do sexo feminino e 49 (n=133) do sexo masculino, com idade média de 17,5 anos. Através do levantamento de fatores de risco para DCV, 30,5 % dos adolescentes apresentaram ao menos um fator de risco, 36% de dois a três e 6,3% apresentavam quatro ou mais fatores de risco. Os fatores de risco mais prevalentes foram dislipidemia na família (32,4%), sedentarismo (30,4%), excesso de peso (19,8%) e histórico familiar para DCV (18,8%). A porcentagem de adolescente que apresentou dislipidemia, caracterizada por níveis de CT, lipoproteína de baixa densidade (LDL-C) e TG aumentados foi de 18,4%, 7,0% e 10,3% respectivamente. Níveis baixos de HDL-C foram observados em 4% dos adolescentes. Para o consumo alimentar, as médias obtidas em relação à energia, carboidrato, lipídio total, lipídio saturado, lipídio insaturado e fibra foram maiores nos meninos, sendo estatisticamente significante. Não foram encontradas relações entre o consumo alimentar e os grupos de fatores de risco, categorizados em baixo risco (até um fator de risco), médio risco (dois a três) e alto risco (mais de quatro fatores), assim como entre o consumo alimentar e o perfil lipídico. Fatores de risco para as DCV estiveram presentes em mais de 50% dos adolescentes. Apesar de não serem encontradas relações estatísticas com o consumo alimentar, a alimentação é um importante fator de risco devendo ser integrante das estratégias de ação, que minimizem os problemas de saúde que a mesma pode acarretar, em algum momento da vida dos adolescentes
82 The present study aims at relating the adolescent alimentary consumption with the presence of cardiovascular disease risk factors (CVD). Methods: The study was conducted with 272 volunteer adolescent individuals of both sexes, ages ranging between 17 and 19, all 3rd grade students at a technical school located in the city of São Paulo. The participant students have initially filled a form informing on the presence of CVD risk factors (familiar historic and dyslipidemy, oral anti contraceptive use, smoking habits, arterial hypertension and physical activity). Data on weight and height have also been collected in order to calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI). It has been equally applied an adolescent alimentary frequency form, semi-quantitative, concerning their alimentary habits. Through biochemical dosages, the values of total cholesterol (TC) and fractions, as well as triglycerides (TG) have also been collected. Results: Out of the 272 students under study, 51% (n=139) were female and 49% (n=133) were male, with average age of 17,5 years old. Through the obtained information on CVD risk factors, 30,5% of the adolescents presented at least one risk factor, 36% from two to three, and 6,3% presented four or more risk factors. The most present factors were dyslipidemy in the family (32,4%), sedentary (30,4%), weight excess (19,8%) and CVD in the family (18,8%). The percentage of adolescents who presented dyslipidemy, categorized by TC levels, low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and high TG was 18,4%, 7,0% and 10,3%, respectively. Low levels of HDL-C were observed in 4% of the adolescents. As to alimentary consumption, the average value obtained related to energy, carbohydrate, total lipidium, saturated lipidium, unsaturated lipidium and fiber were higher in the boys, fact which is considered statistically significant. No relations were found between alimentary consumption and the risk factor groups, categorized at low risk (two to three) and high risk (more than four factors), as well as between alimentary consumption and lipidic profile. Conclusion: CVD risk factors were present in over 50% of the adolescents under study. Even though no statistical relations with alimentary consumption were found, nutrition is an important risk factor that should take place in action strategies which minimize the health problems that nutrition may cause at some point of adolescent individuals' life.
83 Introducción: El Índice de masa corporal (IMC) es un
instrumento útil en pediatría para la determinación
de grasa corporal. Las tablas de IMC usadas internacionalmente se confeccionan
en base a percentilos (Pc) por edad y sexo. El aumento en la prevalencia
de obesidad en todo el mundo revela un desplazamiento de los niños
hacia los percentilos superiores con una mayor concentración
de la población por encima del Pc 50. Objetivo: Determinar la
distribución de los niños estudiados en nuestra población
utilizando los percentilos de IMC de Rolland Cachera. Material y Métodos:
Se determinó el IMC de niños y adolescentes de 10 a 19.9
años de todas las regiones del país, que asistieron a
la consulta pediátrica por diferentes motivos. Pediatras de
la Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría midieron, pesaron y calcularon
el IMC a niños y adolescentes tomados al azar en los consultorios
públicos y privados. La muestra total es de 1971 casos,(1231
mujeres, y 740 varones). Se tomaron datos sociodemográficos
relevantes de los niños y sus familias. El diagnóstico
del grado de IMC se realizó según las tablas de IMC de
Rolland Cachera.
83 Introduction: Body Mass Index (BMI) is a valuable instrument for determining
body fat, of regular use in pediatric practice. The BMI tables used
internationally are based on percentiles (Pc) for age and sex. The
increase in the worldwide prevalence of obesity shows a displacement
of children and adolescents towards the higher percentiles, with an
increase in the concentration of the population above the Pc 50. Objective:
Determine the distribution of the BMI of the population of this study
utilizing the BMI percentiles of Rolland Cachera. Method: The BMI was
calculated for a sample of children and adolescents ages 10 to 19.9
of all the regions of the country who came to the pediatric visit for
any given reason. Pediatricians of the Argentine Society of Pediatrics
measured, weighed and calculated the BMI of a randomized sample of
participants taken from private and public pediatric offices. The total
sample is of 1971 cases,(1231 females and 740 males). Relevant sociodemographic
data was gathered pertaining to the participants and their families.
The BMI was calculated following the Rolland Cahera norms. Results:
84 Actualmente la obesidad es un problema de salud muy frecuente en el
mundo y cuando se inicia en la edad pediátrica, es considerada
un factor de riesgo para enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles
del adulto y sus alteraciones metabólicas. Varios estudios han
mostrado que la morbilidad asociada a la obesidad no tiene necesariamente
una correlación con la magnitud de la acumulación total
de grasa en el organismo, pero sí se relaciona estrechamente
con su distribución abdominal o visceral. 84 Obesity is a worldwide health problem actually, and it is considered
as a risk factor for non-transmittable chronic diseases in adult life,
when it is beginning during childhood. Several studies have shown that
morbidity associated to obesity is partially associated with most of
the usual anthropometric measurements of obesity; the associatino is
stronger with abdominal or visceral mesurements of adiposity. 85 La Hipocondroplasia es una displasia esquelética de herencia autosomica dominante caracterizada por baja estatura con miembros cortos que presenta una amplia variabilidad fenotípica. En un 50-70 % de los casos se encuentran mutaciones en el gen del FGFR3. El diagnóstico se basa en los criterios clínicos y radiológicos de Spranger. Objetivo: correlacionar los criterios antropométricos y radiológicos con los hallazgos moleculares en 21 niños con diagnostico de Hipocondroplasia .Pacientes y Métodos: En todos los pacientes se efectuaron mediciones antropométricas del perímetro cefalico (P.C.), estatura (E) estatura sentada (E.S.) y longitud de miembros inferiores (LMI) y se calculó el puntaje Z. Se realizo lectura a ciego de las radiografías. Se analizó por secuenciacion e hibridizacion alelo especifica (ASO) la región del gen FGFR3 que incluye las mutaciones prevalentes (N540K C®A y C®G) y la mayoría de las mutaciones raras descriptas ( N540T, N540S y I538V). Se dividieron la muestra en 2 grupos según el resultado del molecular. Se utilizo el test de la mediana y el test de fisher para comparar ambos grupos. Se selecciono los puntos de corte de las variables significativas por ROC análisis Resultados: en 14 pacientes se detecto una mutación en el gen FGFR3 (8 N540K C®A y 6 N540K C®G) (grupo1) y en 7 su secuencia fue normal (grupo 2). Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el P.C. y en la LMI entre ambos grupos. La mediana del PC fue de 2,05 (0,80/3,80) en el grupo 1 y de -0,10 (-2,29/ 1,13) en el grupo 2 (test de la mediana p=0,001). La mediana de la LMI fue -5,15 (-7,10/ -4,00) y de -4,10 (-5,50/-3,30) para el grupo 1 y 2 respectivamente (test de la mediana p=0,033). El punto de corte del P.C. para separar ambos grupos fue de + 1,13 Ds (Sensibilidad 92,3% y Especificidad de 100%) y de - 5,8 Ds para la LMI (Sensibilidad de 28,6% y Especificidad de 100%). No se encontró asociación entre los criterios radiologicos y la presencia o no de la mutación. Conclusión: En esta población los hallazgos Auxológicos (mayor tamaño del P.C. y menor LMI) permiten diferenciar al grupo de pacientes con las mutaciones en el gen FGFR3 no así los signos radiologicos.
85 Hypochondroplasia is a skeletal dysplasia with autosomic dominant inheritance characterized by short stature with short limbs, that present a wide phenotypic variation. In 50-70% of the patients the mutations are found in the gene FGFR3. The diagnosis is based on the clinical and radiological criteria described by Spranger. Objective: to correlate the anthropometric and radiological criteria with the molecular findings in 21 patients. Patients and Methods: In all patients we measured the Head Circumference (HC), height, sitting height and leg length (LL), and we calculated Z scores. We also performed a blind reading of the X Rays. The region of the FGFR3 gene that includes prevalent mutations (N540K C®A y C®G) and the majority of the rare mutations (N540T, N540S and I538V) were analyzed by sequencing and allelic specific hybridization (ASO). Median test and Fisher test were used to compare both groups according to the molecular results . We set cut off points for the significant variables with ROC analysis. Results: a mutation in FGFR3 was detected in 14 patients (8 N540K C®A y 6 N540K C®G) (group 1) and in 7 the sequence was normal (group 2). We found statistically significant differences in the HC and LL between both groups. The median in HC was 2,05 (0,80/3,80) (group 1) and -0,10 (-2,29/ 1,13) (group 2) (Median Test p=0,001). The median in LL was -5,15 (-7,10/ -4,00) and -4,10 (-5,50/-3,30) respectively (Median Test p=0,033). The cut off point that divided both groups was for the HC + 1,13 SD (with a sensitivity of 92,3% and specificity of 100%), and - 5,8 SD for the LL (with a sensitivity of 28,65 and specificity of 100%). No association between the radiological criteria and both groups were found/ (N.S. Fisher test). Conclusion: In our sample of patients the auxologic findings (greater HC and shorter LL) permitted the anthropometric differentiation of the patients with the FGFR3 mutation (group 1). The radiological criteria was not useful to predict the presence of the FGFR3 mutation.
86 El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la relación entre
la talla de niños con talla baja constitucional y la estatura
de sus padres. Material y Métodos: Se estudiaron 95 niños
(57 varones y 38 niñas) con edad cronológica ³ a
3 años, que consultaron por talla baja, seleccionados de acuerdo
a los siguientes criterios: 1) peso de nacimiento ³3000gr, 2)
diferencia entre la edad ósea y cronológica £ a
2años, 3) velocidad de crecimiento normal y 4) sin patologías
crónicas asociadas. Se calcularon los puntajes z para las tallas
de los niños (ztn), de las madres (ztm) y de los padres (ztp).
Se compararon los valores medios de ztn entre ambos sexos. Tomando
como base a los niños se determinaron 2 subgrupos: (a) 52 niños:
31 varones con edad cronológica £ a 10 años y 21
mujeres con edad cronológica
£ a 9 años, (b) 78 niños (48 varones y 30 mujeres)
con estaturas por debajo del 3er percentilo. Con la muestra (a) se
calcularon los coeficientes de correlación entre ztn y ztm (rnm)
y entre ztn y ztp (rnp). Fue ajustado un modelo de regresión
relacionando ztn con ztm y ztp. Con la muestra (b) se compararon ztm
y ztp mediante el test de Student para muestras apareadas.
86 The aim of the present work was to evaluate the relationship between the height of constitutional short- statured children, and their parents height.Material and Methods: Ninety five short-statured children (57 males and 38 females). Cronological age: ³ 3 years of age. The children were selected by the next criteria: 1) born weight ³ 3000gr, 2) difference between skeletal age and chronological age £ 2 years, 3) normal growth velocity and, 4) absent of chronic associated pathologies. The height z scores were calculated for children (zhch), mothers (zhm) and fathers (zhf). zhch mean values were compared between boys and girls. Children were divided into two subgroups: (a) 52 children: 31 boys £ 10years of age and 21 girls £ 9years of age , (b) 78 children (48 males and 30 females) whose stature was below the 3rd percentil. The correlation coefficient between zhch and zhm (rchm) and between zhch and zhf (rchf)was calculated in subgroup (a). A regression model was determined to relate zhch with zhm and zhf. Zhm and zhf were compared in subgroup (b) by paired t test. Result: The zhch mean±SD was -2.25±0.89, the zhm was-1.13±0.85 and the zhf was -0.69±0.93. Mean values showed no significant differences between both sexes (p=0.259) The rchm was 0.48 (p=0.000), and rchf was 0.40 (p=0.003). On adjusting the lineal model regression considering zhm and zhf as explicative variables, the zhm was significantly different from zero (p=0.0081) on the other hand the zhf was not different from zero (p=0.0977). The comparison by paired t test showed significant differences between zhm and zhf. Mean values for zhm were lower than those for zhf (p=0.001). Conclusions: (i) Children's height was more associated to their mother height than to their father's, (ii) In the group of children whose height was below the 3rd percentil the mother mean height was lower than the father's.
87 Introdução A imagem corporal é, atualmente excessivamente valorizada na sociedade ocidental, especialmente no sexo feminino, e exige de modelos profissionais uma perfeição corporal que segue como padrão a magreza extrema. Este padrão de beleza é, em alguns casos, difícil de ser mantido devido às mudanças de composição corporal normais nessa faixa etária. Na literatura, poucos estudos relatam o estado nutricional desta população exposta a riscos nutricionais próprios da faixa etária e agravados pelo estilo de vida que a profissão exige. Objetivo O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as características antropométricas e de percentual de gordura de modelos adolescentes de 11 a 19 anos, de ambos os sexos, bem como comparar os resultados obtidos em cada uma das variáveis estudadas, nas diferentes faixas etárias. Métodos A população do estudo compreendeu 192 adolescentes modelos, 171 do sexo feminino e 21 do masculino, nos quais foram realizadas medidas antropométricas de massa e % de gordura corporal, estatura e circunferências braquial e do quadril (para o sexo feminino), por meio de balança e impedanciometro digital modelo Tanita, antropômetro extensível marca Seca e fita métrica, respectivamente. Para análise estatística calcularam-se os valores médios e desvios-padrão de cada variável por faixa etária, comparando-se as médias por meio do teste t de student, agregado à Pearson, e Qui-Quadrado para variáveis qualitativas expressas em proporções, considerando como significativo p < 0,05. Resultados: Verificou-se que 50 modelos (29,24%) tinham entre 11 e 14 anos de idade e que 121 meninas (70,76%) encontravam-se na faixa etária de 15 a 19 anos. Observou-se uma diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as duas faixas etárias do sexo feminino nas seguintes variáveis: massa corporal, estatura, IMC, circunferência do quadril e % de gordura. Quanto aos meninos, todos encontravam-se na faixa etária de 15 a 19 anos. Em relação ao estado nutricional, observou-se que 60% das meninas de 11 a 14 anos 54% na faixa etária de 15 a 19 anos apresentavam IMC<P15. Quanto aos meninos, todos (100%) eram eutróficos. Conclusão: Quanto menor a idade, maior a condição de risco para as meninas. A condição da saúde desse grupo deve ser avaliada, pois além de serem um grupo de risco pela profissão escolhida e faixa etária precoce, ao serem lançados na mídia, os modelos passam a ser referência para os demais. indivíduos, especialmente para mulheres.
87 Introduction: Body image is highly valued in western societies nowadays, specially by female gender, and requires from professional fashion models extreme thinness as usual perfection standards . This beauty standard is in some cases, very dificult to be maintained due to the changes of body composition that occurs at this age range. In literature,very few studies relate the nutritional status of this population so exposed to nutritional risky factors proper of this age range and agravated by the profession lifestyle. Objective: The objective of this study i was identify anthropométric characteristics and body fat percentage of models between 11 and 19 years old, of both sexes, and relate them with age . Méthods: The studied population encompassed 192 adolescent fashion models,171 females and 21 males, in which were done: height and weight( BMI indices) , body fat percentage, arm and hip circunferences (female gender) making use of a scale, a 2polar digital bioimpedanciometer ( TANITA ) , an extensible anthropometer ( SECA ) and a métric scale . For the statistic analisis, medium values and standard deviations were calculated for each variable according to the age range, and comparing the average through the t - Student test in conjunction to Pearsons and X-square to qualitative variables , expressed in proportions, considering as significative an p<0,05. Résults: It was verified that 50 models (29,24%) were between 11 and 14 years old, and that 121 girls (70,76%) were between 15 and 19 years old. It was noticed stastisticlly significant diferences between the two female age groups in the following variables: The older models presented higher heigth, BMI( body mass index), hip circunferece and body fat percentage. As to the boys, all of them were 15 to 19 years old. As to nutritional status, it was noticed that 60% of the girls, being 54% in the age range from 15 to 19 years old , presented a BMI<p15. As for the boys , 100% were eutróphic. Conclusion: Young models presented higher risk as determined by body composition . The health condition of this group is being under analysis, as they are a a risky group due to their choosed profession , being at an early age, and to the fact that when they start to be exposed throughout the media , they do become row models to others teenagers .
