Introduction: Obesity is a disease in which its prevalence has increased significantly in recent decades and is considered a major public health problem and a global epidemic. Obesity is associated with important metabolic consequences, dependent on the duration and severity, as changes in lipid and glucose metabolism in blood pressure and the development of non-alcoholic fatty disease. Its evolution process can be anything from a fatty infiltration of the liver steatosis (HS), through an inflammatory process (steatohepatitis), fibrosis, and may also trigger cirrhosis and even liver cancer in. Recent studies suggest that parental BMI whose children are overweight is greater than the BMI of parents of children with normal weight. Objective: To analyze the relationship between sedentary obese adolescents with and without hepatic steatosis and body composition of their parents. Methods: The sample consisted of 65 parents and adolescents, and of these 43 adolescents had no hepatic steatosis and 19 had the EH. All adolescents were characterized as obese by body mass index, according to age and gender. Anthropometric measurements of weight, height and waist circumference were held. The body fat percentage of children was measured by x-ray absorptiometry dual energy absorptiometry (DEXA) and performed the median, above the median were considered abnormal (1) and below the median was considered normal (0). For the diagnosis of EH was conducted ultrasound in the upper abdomen, done by a radiologist. Results: We dichotomized the DC variables and BMI of the parents according to the cutoff points were classified as amended. After the binarylogistic regression was found consistent with the changes of parents of children with EH, ie, the BMI of adolescents with EH, the greater the CC (p = 0.015) and BMI (p = 0.036) of their parents. Conclusion: According to the results, it can be concluded that parents of obese sedentary adolescents who have DGNAF have high value of BMI and WC in comparison to their peers away from the disease.
