This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The increase in obesity among U.S. children portends a rise in high blood pressure and heart disease, which threaten to wipe out gains made in the last decades. Heart disease may no longer be a disease of older adults. To address this growing need, Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital in Baltimore offers a multi-disciplinary intervention program, Weigh Smart, targeting children and adolescents who are overweight and obese which includes family nutrition education, psychological counseling for children and their families and on-site exercise sessions. As a result of participation in the Weigh Smart program, some children will lose weight, but all will increase their activity level and change their eating pattern to some degree. These strategies may be important to counteract the effects of obesity and may ameliorate early signs of cardiovascular disease. We plan to study children before and after they participate in the Weigh Smart program. We will evaluate their blood pressure using a wearable blood pressure device. Blood and urine tests of early cardiovascular disease will be evaluated before and after the program to better understand the earliest mechanisms of heart disease from obesity.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 美国儿童肥胖率的增加预示着高血压和心脏病的增加，这可能会抹去过去几十年取得的进展。心脏病可能不再是老年人的疾病。为了满足这一日益增长的需求，巴尔的摩华盛顿山儿科医院针对超重和肥胖的儿童和青少年提供了多学科干预计划“Weigh Smart”，其中包括家庭营养教育、儿童及其家人的心理咨询以及现场锻炼课程。由于参与“Weigh Smart”计划，一些孩子的体重会减轻，但所有孩子的活动水平都会增加，并在一定程度上改变他们的饮食模式。这些策略对于抵消肥胖的影响可能很重要，并可能改善心血管疾病的早期症状。我们计划对儿童参加“智能称重”计划之前和之后进行研究。我们将使用可穿戴血压设备评估他们的血压。项目前后将评估早期心血管疾病的血液和尿液检测，以更好地了解肥胖引起的心脏病的最早机制。
