Obesity Hypertension: Clinical Aspects

Pediatric Hypertension

  • 15 Accesses

Abstract

Obesity-related hypertension has become one of the most common forms of childhood hypertension. As the childhood obesity epidemic worsens, it is imperative to understand the mechanisms of obesity-related hypertension and develop effective interventions. This chapter will review the association between obesity and cardiovascular risk factors in children, including hypertension. It will briefly review the potential mechanisms by which obesity may cause hypertension. Finally, we will discuss the different treatment strategies for youth with obesity-related hypertension, as well as the effect the coronavirus pandemic has had on obesity and hypertension in children and adolescents.
