Abstract:
Abstract:Prevalence of children obesity is increasing year by year in China. Children obesity is not only associated with risk of various metabolic disorders, but also associated with risk of short-term subclinical cardiovascular damage, including increased carotid intima-media thickness, increased arterial stiffness, endothelial dysfunction, left ventricular hypertrophy, and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction etc. Current evidence is mainly based on cross-sectional design and the conclusions are inconsistent. Thus, it is important to establish childhood obesity cohort study, and to examine the effect of childhood obesity on subclinical cardiovascular damage. In all, we should emphasize the prevention and control of childhood obesity, in order to reduce the risk of subclinical cardiovascular damage.
