Re: 4 year old little fat boy died in his sleep. Doctor: parents should pay attention to the children.
13 years old if
does not increase the risk of adulthood
professor Fu Junfen said that such clusters of clinical symptoms such as obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension and dyslipidemia are commonly referred to as metabolic syndrome (MetS), a common disease of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, tumors and other major chronic diseases. Soil and early stages.
however, the pathogenesis of MetS is not clear in China's children and adolescents, and the lack of diagnostic criteria brings great difficulties in its prevention and treatment. Since 2009, Professor Fu Junfen has led the team to carry out a series of researches on children and adolescents MetS for more than 10 years. The
team conducted an epidemiological survey among 22197 7-16 year old students, and finally developed a set of criteria for the percentage of waist and height as a parameter.
professor Fu Junfen explained that the waist circumference is the best indication of visceral fat accumulation. Fat accumulation in the viscera is more likely to induce metabolic diseases and cardiovascular diseases such as type two diabetes. The parameter of height is taken into account that the child is still at the stage of growth and development.
according to the standard, boys are not limited to age, waist circumference / height should be less than 0.48; girls aged 6~10 are not more than 0.48, and 10~16 years old do not exceed 0.46. Parents can take out a tape measure to see if your child is qualified.
recently, a Danish University of Copenhagen research team published a 38 year cohort study in the new England Journal of medicine. The study says the risk of type 2 diabetes at the age of 30-60 is not the same as those of normal people if they can lose weight at the age of 13, if they can lose weight at the age of 13; the risk will rise by 47%, but it is also far below the fatness of 7.
therefore, once the child exceeds the above criteria, the parents must pay enough attention to take the child to the hospital for professional treatment as soon as possible.
