Does childhood obesity cause premature vascular alterations (increased carotid IMT and stiffness) in both sexes?
Iannuzzi et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Childhood obesity. Childhood obesity was evaluated on Premature vascular alterations (carotid intima-media thickness and stiffness). The abstract provides only the background and aims of the study, without reporting any quantitative results regarding carotid intima-media thickness and stiffness in obese children.
