Core Tip	The obesity epidemic in children is beginning to show its ramifications of increase in chronic diseases in children such as hypertension. Early childhood factors like prematurity and accelerated post-natal weight gain play a role in hypertension in later years and shed light on the multi-factorial prevention strategies that need to be in place. Furthermore, surveillance of factors such as vitamin D deficiency, hyperuricemia, sleep apnea, chronic kidney disease and fatty liver is required in addition to the traditional approach of weight management and pharmacotherapy.
