Background: The theory of ‘Metabolically healthy obese individuals’ is become very popular in researchers across the world. Nevertheless, obese persons are at increased risk for adverse long-term outcomes compared with metabolically healthy normal-weight individuals.Objective: To determine the obesity-related cardiovascular comorbidities in metabolically healthy obese adolescents comparatively to lean and metabolically unhealthy ones.<p cla...

The main pitfall of weight management programs is effective and safe fitness regimen choice. According to HELENA Study (2013) physical activity readiness is negatively correlated with markers of insulin resistance (IR) and central adiposity in adolescent population. Meanwhile, very little is known about cardiorespiratory fitness effectiveness in relation to hepatic, peripheral and whole body insulin sensitivity (IS).Methods: 64 adolescents aged 13.56+2.4...

Background: Obesity epidemic is associated with diabetes and it’s complications at young age. Meanwhile, there is no recommendation concerning stratification as a risky for the overweight without dysglycemia by WHO criteria.Objective and hypotheses: Insulin response during OGTT might be dependent on BMI and can reflect preclinical stage of dysglycemiaMethod: 72 otherwise healthy adolescents aged 13.56±2.47 y.o. were exami...

Background: Exercise performance is dependent on glucose supply as fuel to working muscles.Objective and hypotheses: We hypothesised that postprandial insulin secretion impacts exercise induced glucose and insulin response.Method: 27 sedentary obese adolescent males aged 15.31+1.33 were examined. Standard 2 h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with further calculation AUC for glucose and insulin for increments: 0–30 m...

Background: There is a high incidence of acute cardiovascular events in obese subjects.Objective and hypotheses: We hypothesised that exercise tolerance is different in metabolically healthy (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy (MUO) obese adolescents.Method: 45 obese adolescents aged 10–17 (23 males and 22 females) were examined with an anthropometry, fasting blood glucose, insulin and lipids. IDF criteria were used for grouping...

Background: Non-communicable disease epidemic is directly related to the dislipidemia and insulin resistance (IR) that associated with acute cardiovascular events. Meanwhile, there is not much has known about interrelation between this parameters in pediatric patients.Purpose: of the study is to analyze associations between lipids and insulin resistance so as to screen high risk subjects during adolescence.<p class="...

Background: Childhood obesity is a serious medical condition that may well be prevented by the life style modification. Therefore school-age children awareness of the problem is crucial for the educational programs.Subjects Methods: This work is a part of the complex project "Assessment of the current nutritional status, nutrition-related health problems in school-age children in Ukraine". 392 school-age children...

Background: Diabetes, acute cardiovascular events and lifelong psychological problems reflect the obesity burden. Nutrition is a key point in prophylaxis and management of overweight and there is important to know trends of nutrition to build interventional strategies.Method: There are 1021 healthy lean (LH) and 372 obese (OW) adolescents aged 10–17 y.o. were survived with original questionnaire, which also included social and psychological (Beck-Yo...
