Description
Summary:Obesity is one of the most urgent problems of modern medical science. While 43 million children were overweight and obese in 2010, the disease is now reaching epidemic proportions. The combination of obesity and hyperuricemia is the two main factors in the progression and spread of arterial hypertension in children. Research has been carried out to identify risk factors for the development of obesity in children. 55 patients with arterial hypertension and exogenous constitutional obesity were examined. Patient selection was based on body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference in obese children. Waist-to-hip ratio was an indicator of abdominal obesity. The results of the study showed that both low birth weight and overweight at birth are risk factors for obesity. Heredity is one of the main risk factors for obesity and cardiovascular disease. A relationship has been established between body mass index, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism with previously identified risk factors, as well as an inverse relationship between birth weight and body mass index.
