Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Obesity represents one of today’s greatest public health challenges and has important implications in both the short and long term even in pediatric patients. Our aim here is to delve into the metabolic aspects of obesity in children and adolescents with a focus on alterations in lipid profiles, glucose metabolism, hepatic involvement (MAFLD), and all the clinical and biochemical features of so-called metabolic syndrome that we can now identify and treat in children.
In this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles, reviews, and short papers on metabolic syndrome and obesity in children related to diagnostic and treatment modalities related to lifestyle changes, dietary–nutritional interventions, and pharmacological treatments that could be used as early as adolescence.
