Reference | Sample size | p-value | Conclusion |
[92] | 295 |
| Adolescents above median BMI for their age had increased systolic blood pressure (p = 0.0009), fasting insulin (p = 0.0001), and TG (p-0.0002), and decreased HDL-C (p = 0.007). |
| Insulin-resistant adolescents above the median BMI for their age had higher TG and lower HDL-C than their insulin-sensitive counterparts. | ||
[103] | 2204 | p < 0.0001 | Increased adolescent measurements of systolic blood pressure, serum TG levels, and BMI were predictive of hypertension in adulthood. |

| The severity of child and adolescent systolic (p < 0.001) and diastolic (p < 0.01) hypertension is positively correlated with the severity of obesity. |
[108] | 5486 | p < 0.01 | The odds of having left ventricular hypertrophy were 4.19 times higher in obese patients than non-obese patients. |
[110] | 467 | p < 0.001 | In children, increasing BMI was positively correlated with increasing left ventricular mass. |
[111] | 824 | p = 0.001 | In young adults, BMI was positively correlated with eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy. |
[112] | 160 | p < 0.2 | In children, excess weight may correlate to left ventricular hypertrophy beyond normal cardiac growth. |
[113] | 343 |
| Obese African-American adolescents had significantly higher left ventricular mass (p = 0.01) and wall thickness (p < 0.001) as compared to their non-obese counterparts. |
[39] | 769 | Men: p = 0.002 Women: P = 0.009 | Childhood TC levels are significantly correlated with increased cIMT in both adult men and women. |
p < 0.01 | Childhood BMI is significantly correlated with increased cIMT in adult women. | ||
[40] | 486 | p < 0.001 | Any single measurement of elevated LDL-C or BMI in childhood is associated with increased cIMT in adulthood. |
