Benestad B, et al. - In this retrospective, registry-based, cross-sectional cohort study, researchers compared modifiable cardiometabolic risk factors among treatment seeking adolescents with obesity in Italy, Germany and Norway. The study sample consisted of 2,327 (59% girls) 12-18-year-old adolescents with obesity from three tertiary care outpatient clinics in Europe, between 1999 and 2015. Data reported that the prevalence of elevated non-high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol in Norway, Germany and Italy were 60%, 54% and 45%, while the prevalence of high systolic or diastolic blood pressure were 15%, 46% and 66%, respectively. It was observed that the cardiometabolic risk factors among treatment-seeking adolescents with obesity from Italy, Germany and Norway varied across the populations in this study, which might suggest that preventive clinical work should reflect such differences.
