Overview
A t the present time there are over 20,000 obese children in the European Union who suffer from diabetes mellitus type 2, 400,000 children with glucose tolerance disorders, over one million of obese children display signs of a cardiovascular disease including hypertension and increased cholesterol levels and display three or more signs of the metabolic syndrome.
The condition of our childhood obese population is under consideration. The authors analyzed metabolic parameters of 165 children attending Children Obesity Outpatient Department who suffered from polygenic obesity. In an equivalent cohort according to sex, age and body mass categories there were 42% of obese children with simple obesity, 20% obese children with hypercholesterolemia, and 38% of children with complex metabolic changes.
The results made it clear that situation in our child obese population is equally alarming as it is in other developed civilized countries. In the child obese population the incidence of complex metabolic changes has risen steeply with age, the degree of obesity and proved to be higher in the male sex. A new phenomenon is a three-fold higher incidence of complex metabolic changes in comparison with present criteria of the metabolic syndrome.
Key words:
children obesity, complex metabolic changes, metabolic syndrome
