Abstract
We enrolled a cohort of 185 children and adolescents
with middle-grave obesity (E.P.>40%) from the Paediatric Endocrinology
and Diabetology Center in Trieste. The aim of the study was to
describe the frequency of obesity complications and to evaluate the
effects of a diet program. We found that the most frequent early complications
of childhood obesity were: hepatic steatosis (33%), insulin
resistance (38%), hypertension (32%) and metabolic syndrome (9%).
All obese children enrolled agreed to undergo a diet. All patients
showed a loss of weight, with an average loss of weight of 10% in the
first 6 months. However, a low compliance to the diet was seen during
the follow-up.
