| 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. |
