Cardiovascular diseases in children with obesity

Currently, the main biological factors contributing to the development of cardiovascular pathology are arterial hypertension (AH), high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes and obesity. It is known that the epidemiological and biological risks of cardiovascular diseases begin to develop in childhood, therefore, an increase in the proportion of children with excess body weight is an alarming warning of a possible increase in cardiovascular complications in the near future. This fact indicates the need for recognition and correction of the earliest signs of damage to the heart and blood vessels arising from obesity.
