Key result
Childhood obesity is associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors, with autonomic dysfunction appearing to be a key underlying mechanism requiring further investigation in pediatric populations.
Childhood obesity is associated with early cardiovascular risk factors, potentially mediated by autonomic dysfunction, necessitating targeted research in pediatric populations.
Autonomic dysfunction may link early obesity to cardiovascular risk; hypothesis-generating for mechanistic and interventional studies.
Obesity is a universal disease of increasing prevalence and currently assumes epidemiological characteristic, as a main public health issue in contemporary society. Results from genetic, behavioral and environmental factors and it may start at any age. However, obesity appears at early ages predisposes to its presence at later ages bringing several complications, particularly the development of cardiovascular disease. The analysis indicates that autonomic dysfunction seems to be presented among the majority of risk factors that develop this disease, suggesting the need for a deeper study of this mechanism in children population

Ornelas et al. (2014) conducted a review in Childhood obesity. Childhood obesity was evaluated. Childhood obesity is associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors, with autonomic dysfunction appearing to be a key underlying mechanism requiring further investigation in pediatric populations.
