Implication

May warrant BP screening in overweight adolescents; leaves open whether weight reduction alters long-term CV outcomes.

Structured PICO

Population

Overweight and obese adolescents

Intervention

Lifestyle change and pharmacotherapy

Adolescent obesity is strongly correlated with hypertension, and early intervention through lifestyle and pharmacotherapy may reduce future cardiovascular risk.

Limitations

paucity of studies reporting specific effects for the adolescent age group of overweight and obese individuals
