Why the study?
Is insulin resistance associated with altered ambulatory blood pressure components in overweight and obese children and adolescents?
Is insulin resistance associated with altered ambulatory blood pressure components in overweight and obese children and adolescents?
Insulin resistance in obese children and adolescents is associated with higher nocturnal systolic blood pressure and heart rate, potentially serving as an early marker for heightened cardiovascular risk.

May flag early nocturnal CV risk in obese youth; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice without longitudinal data.
Lurbe et al. (2008) studied this question.
