Abstract
BACKGROUND
Hypertension continues to increase in its prevalence in children and adolescents globally. This evolving health issue has been associated with the concurrent world-wide rise in childhood obesity.
SOURCES OF MATERIAL
In this review, we aim to improve the awareness of hypertension in youth with metabolic syndrome (MetS) highlighting key published data. This review examines the interplay between MetS and hypertension during childhood and adolescence, covering its epidemiology, pathophysiology, screening, diagnosis, and potential management strategies.
ABSTRACT OF FINDINGS
Hypertension and obesity are integral features of MetS, which describes a clustering of metabolic risk factors hallmarked by insulin resistance that significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Children at risk of developing hypertension and MetS share many modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors, which are derived from common pathophysiological mechanisms. Identifying at-risk individuals through targeted screening is crucial, given their long-term adverse cardiovascular outcomes in young adulthood.
CONCLUSION
Management of hypertension and MetS requires a stepwise, multidisciplinary approach, central to which is the recognition that adoption of healthy lifestyle intervention over the lifespan is key to prevention, with consideration for pharmacotherapy and other medical interventions as indicated.
期刊介绍:
Because the scope of clinical lipidology is broad, the topics addressed by the Journal are equally diverse. Typical articles explore lipidology as it is practiced in the treatment setting, recent developments in pharmacological research, reports of treatment and trials, case studies, the impact of lifestyle modification, and similar academic material of interest to the practitioner.
Sections of Journal of clinical lipidology will address pioneering studies and the clinicians who conduct them, case studies, ethical standards and conduct, professional guidance such as ATP and NCEP, editorial commentary, letters from readers, National Lipid Association (NLA) news and upcoming event information, as well as abstracts from the NLA annual scientific sessions and the scientific forums held by its chapters, when appropriate.
