Dissertation on Risk Factors, Complications and Characteristics of Metabolic Syndrome in Obese Children and Adolescents

Obesity is a global epidemic not only in developed countries, but also in low- and middle-income countries. The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased in all age groups for both genders. The higher the prevalence of childhood obesity, the higher the risk of obesity in adulthood, so it is important to be aware of preventable and unpreventable risk factors for obesity. This is particularly useful when long-term obesity prevention and reduction programmes are initiated.
