Abstract

Purpose of review: The rise of the pediatric obesity pandemic over the past 40 years has sharpened focus on the management of obesity, hypertension and lipid abnormalities in children. Multiple studies demonstrate that these risk factors track from childhood into adulthood predisposing individuals to premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and putting them at risk for early morbidity and mortality.

Recent findings: Importantly, obesity, hypertension and lipid problems are individual risk factors that can occur independently. Multiple studies have shown that each risk factor causes target organ damage in children. Intensive and focused lifestyle modifications can improve a child's subclinical disease and decrease the risk for future morbidity.

Summary: Childhood offers a unique opportunity at primordial and primary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Clinicians must focus on targeting these highly prevalent conditions and applying lifestyle modification and then pharmacologic or surgical therapies as needed.

儿童肥胖，高血压，血脂。

回顾的目的:在过去的40年里，儿童肥胖的流行增加了人们对儿童肥胖、高血压和脂质异常管理的关注。多项研究表明，从童年到成年，这些危险因素使个体易患过早的动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病，并使他们处于早期发病和死亡的危险之中。最新发现:重要的是，肥胖、高血压和血脂问题是可以独立发生的个体风险因素。多项研究表明，每种危险因素都会导致儿童靶器官损伤。密集和集中的生活方式改变可以改善儿童的亚临床疾病，降低未来发病的风险。总结:儿童期为动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病的初级和初级预防提供了一个独特的机会。临床医生必须专注于这些高度流行的疾病，并根据需要应用生活方式改变，然后进行药物或手术治疗。

期刊介绍： Current Treatment Options in Pediatrics aims to review the most important, recently published research on treatment in the field of pediatrics. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of children of all ages.We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas covering all the major medical and surgical disciplines in pediatrics. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive treatment-focused review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also occasionally provided.
