Severe obesity afflicts between 4% and 6% of all youth in the United States, prevalence is increasing. Despite serious immediate long-term cardiovascular, metabolic, other health consequences severe pediatric obesity, current treatments are limited effectiveness lack widespread availability. Lifestyle modification/behavior-based treatment interventions with have demonstrated modest improvement body mass index status, but participants generally remained severely obese often regained weight...
A pproximately 79 400 000 American adults, or 1 in 3, have cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD accounts for 36.3% of every 2.8 deaths the United States and is leading cause death among both men women States, killing an average 37 seconds. Older some ethnic minority populations, socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals increased prevalence vascular/metabolic risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes; are more likely to Ն2 factors; at being sedentary, overweight obese, having...

Cardiovascular Risk in Children from the Atherosclerosis, Hypertension, and Obesity Young Committee (Council on Disease Young) Diabetes Nutrition, Physical Activity, Metabolism). 1 Since writing of above document, substantial new information has emerged children clustering obesity, insulin resistance, inflammation, other risk factors their collective role conveying heightened for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).A constellation these interrelated...
Deterioration in endothelial function and arterial stiffness are early events the development of cardiovascular diseases. In adults, noninvasive measures atherosclerosis have become established as valid reliable tools for refining risk to target individuals who need intervention. With limited pediatric data, use these techniques children adolescents largely has been reserved research purposes. Therefore, this scientific statement was written (1) review current literature on assessment...
The process of atherosclerosis may begin in youth and continue for decades, leading to both nonfatal fatal cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction, stroke, sudden death. With primordial primary prevention, disease is largely preventable. Clinical trial evidence has shown convincingly that pharmacological treatment risk factors can prevent events. data are less definitive but also highly suggestive appropriate public policy lifestyle interventions aimed at eliminating tobacco...
Despite compliance with lifestyle recommendations, some children and adolescents high-risk hyperlipidemia will require lipid-lowering drug therapy, particularly those familial hypercholesterolemia. The purpose of this statement is to examine new evidence on the association lipid abnormalities early atherosclerosis, discuss challenges previous guidelines, highlight results clinical trials statin therapy in hypercholesterolemia or severe Recommendations are provided guide decision-making...
The rapid increase in the prevalence and severity of obesity children is likely to lower age onset incidence cardiovascular disease worldwide. Understanding pathophysiology improving clinical management involve a knowledge novel risk factors biomarkers. mechanistic roles these biological during childhood are currently being investigated. goals this scientific statement present existing theoretical framework nontraditional for as they relate adolescents, describe relevance weight available...
The American Heart Association recognizes the importance of physically active lifestyles to health and well-being children adults with congenital heart defects. Counseling patients defects should emphasize daily physical activity decreasing sedentary behavior as appropriate for patient’s clinical status. suggested practices are based on relevant research regarding benefits healthy adults, because among is lacking. There no evidence whether or not there a need restrict recreational defects,...
C ardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and premature mortality in women men the United States, most industrialized world, many developing countries. 1Data accumulated over past 3 decades indicate that atherosclerotic-CVD processes begin early childhood are influenced life course by genetic potentially modifiable risk factors environmental exposures.Taken together, these data provide compelling evidence for primary prevention CVD beginning childhood.Within pediatric...
