“…Left ventricular structural changes have been demonstrated in obese children and adolescents ( 2 ). Increased values for left ventricular mass index (LVMi) and carotid intima-media thickness (c-IMT) as well as abnormal results of Doppler imaging have been reported in childhood obesity ( 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ).…”

Objective:In this study, our aim was to determine cardiovascular risk and cardiac function in prediabetic obese children and adolescents.Methods:The study was conducted on 198 obese children and adolescents 6-18 years of age. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure measurements, oral glucose tolerance test, lipid profile, and HbA1c levels of patients were assessed. Prediabetes was defined according to American Diabetes Association criteria. Left ventricular mass index (LVMi), carotid intima-media thickness (c-IMT), and tissue Doppler measurements records were used.Results:LVMi was found to be significantly higher in the prediabetes group (p=0.03). There were no statistically significant differences in right ventricular tissue Doppler measurements between the prediabetic and non-prediabetic groups. Left ventricular tissue Doppler measurements were significantly higher in the prediabetes group: LVEEM (left ventricular E/e ratio) (p=0.04); LVEM (left ventricular myocardial velocity cm/s) (p=0.035). LVMi was found to positively correlate with triglyceride level, diastolic blood pressure, waist circumference, body weight standard deviation score and to negatively correlate with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p=0.043, r=0.15; p=0.039, r=0.15; p=0.025, r=0.17; p=0.009, r=0.19; p=0.038, r=-0.15, respectively). LVEM was correlated with glucose (p=0.046, r=0.15) and LVEEM was correlated with systolic blood pressure (p=0.035, r=0.15). In linear regression analysis for clinical cardiovascular risk factors, fasting glucose level was the best predictor of LVEM.Conclusion:In this study, deterioration of cardiac function in prediabetic obese children and adolescents was shown. We recommend determining cardiovascular risk and cardiac dysfunction at early stages in prediabetic obese children and adolescents.

Poultry meat is an animal product important in human nutrition. A variable, and moderate energy content, highly digestible proteins of good nutritional quality, unsaturated lipids, fat-soluble and B-complex vitamins as well as minerals make poultry meat a valuable food. Poultry meat is one of the recommended constituents of Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Diet as well as the Mediterranean Diet. The substitution of red meat with poultry as well as fish, nuts and legumes decreases the risk of developing type 2 and gestational diabetes mellitus, improves glycemic control and cardiovascular risk factors. Low-fat diets supported by fruits, grains, nuts, fish and poultry instead of red meat yields cardiovascular health benefits. Antiinflammatory and antioxidative diet enriched with high-quality foods reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines. This favors anti-inflammatory milieu which in turn improves insulin sensitivity and endothelial function and ultimately act as a barrier to obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus and development of atherosclerosis. The nutritive value of poultry meat depends on different factors such as age, feeding, keeping, hybrids, carcass parts and type of meat. Preventive measures against risky aspects of the matter should be developed. Since the use of antibiotics leads to the development of antibiotic resistant pathogens, antibiotics must be replaced by herbs and spices with growth promoting effects, antimicrobial properties, and other health related benefits to solve the problem. Enrichment and fortification with nutrients may cause poultry meat to gain even more functional food character.

“…Overweight/obese children and adolescents are at an increased risk of developing morbid obesity in future years of life. The positive association between being overweight/obese and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) as well as other chronic diseases is well established (Alpsoy et al, 2013a;Alpsoy et al, 2013b;Alpsoy et al, 2013c, Donma, 2015Donma, 2016). Obesity is also known to be associated with depressive symptoms (Esmeilzadeh et al, 2016;Donma & Donma, 2010;Donma & Donma, 2017).…”

Overlapping patterns were observed for overweight and obese children for waist circumference, waist-to-height, head-to-neck ratios, BMI and DONMA Index-I. However, DONMA Index-II showed a clear-cut separation between groups; normal weight-overweight and overweight-obese. This study revealed that body ratios and formulas based upon body fat are more valuable parameters than those based on weight for the evaluation of obesity in children.

Effect of overweight on cardiac function in children

Abstract: Compared with normal-weight children, overweight children have decreased LV diastolic function. BMI is associated with a reduction in LV diastolic function in overweight children.
