Tóm tắt :

India is witnessing an increase in the burden of childhood obesity, especially amongthe upper socioeconomic strata and in urban areas. Emerging literature suggestsa link between childhood obesity and the diabetes epidemic in India. Asian-Indianchildren and adolescents are increasingly susceptible to a high percentage ofbody fat and abdominal adiposity. Further, they are exposed to an obesogenicenvironment, created by rapid urbanization and nutrition transition in India. Obesechildren have a higher risk of developing abnormalities that are recognized asprecursors to diabetes, such as subclinical inflammation, insulin resistance andmetabolic syndrome, which often track to adulthood. A review of the literaturesuggests the need for more longitudinal studies to improve understanding of thelong-term consequences of childhood obesity in India. A life-course approach witha combination of population- and risk-based strategies is warranted, to preventchildhood obesity and curtail its consequences in adulthood
