Key result
Chronic subclinical inflammation in childhood and adolescence is linked to metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance.
Why the study?
The prevalence of overweight and metabolic syndrome is increasing in young people, and the inflammatory mechanisms related to metabolic syndrome components in children and adolescents need summarizing.

Supports hypothesis of early inflammation as cardiometabolic precursor; leaves open whether targeting it alters adult outcomes.
Chronic subclinical inflammation in childhood and adolescence is associated with metabolic dysfunction, highlighting the importance of early identification and prevention strategies for cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Wärnberǵ et al. (2008) conducted a review in Metabolic syndrome and obesity. Low-grade inflammation was evaluated on Metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Chronic subclinical inflammation in childhood and adolescence is associated with metabolic dysfunction, which can lead to insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome.
