正如在成年人中一样，儿童人群中超重和肥胖的发生率正在以惊人的速度上升。与该风险因素相关的成人合并症已得到充分认识，并正在不断得到进一步阐明。此外，我们正在逐步更好地了解儿童在年幼时超重和肥胖的风险。然而，现在有越来越多的证据表明，儿童肥胖不仅经常导致成人肥胖，而且本身就是心脏代谢综合征和成年后心血管风险的风险因素。如果目前的趋势继续下去，儿童超重和肥胖的问题将成为无法控制的比例，一旦这些人达到成年。为了理解这个复杂的问题，未来的研究工作需要关注那些超重和肥胖的儿童，他们后来改变了代谢过程，成为正常体重的成年人。
The incidence of overweight and obesity is rising at an alarming pace in the pediatric population, just as in the adult population. The adult comorbidities associated with this risk factor are well-recognized and are being further elucidated continually. Additionally, we are gradually developing a better understanding of the risks of overweight and obesity among children while they are still young. However, there is now a growing body of evidence showing that childhood obesity not only leads all too frequently to adult obesity, but is in itself a risk factor for cardiometabolic syndrome and resultant cardiovascular risk in adulthood. If current trends continue, the problem of pediatric overweight and obesity will become of unmanageable proportions once these individuals reach adulthood. Future research efforts toward understanding this complex problem will need to focus on those overweight and obese children who later went on to change their metabolic course and become normal-weight adults.
