Cover Story: This study examined sex-specific associations between childhood BMI patterns and cardiometabolic risk in adolescence, using data from a Korean longitudinal cohort that followed children from the age of 7 to 18. Boys who maintained an overweight status during childhood showed elevated liver enzyme levels and a shorter stature, while girls exhibited higher blood pressure and earlier pubertal onset. These sex-specific differences underscore the need for early intervention strategies tailored to reducing the long-term health risks associated with childhood obesity. View this paper
