FREQUENCY OF METABOLIC SYNDROME AND OTHER COMPLICATIONS OF OBESITY IN PRACTICE OF A CHILD ENDOCRINOLOGIST
The analysis of 121 medical history of children with obesity at the age from 5 to 17 years is carried out. The leading complications and concomitant diseases are: gastropathology (96 %), cardiac disorders (50 %), metabolic disorders (47 %), hypothalamic syndrome (46 %), accelerated or accelerated physical development (85 %), delayed sexual development in boys 25 %), accelerated puberty (60 %) and hyperandrogenism in girls (5 %). It was found that the metabolic syndrome was 1,5 times more common in children with a 1-2 degree of obesity than in children with a 3 degree of obesity. The high morbidity of children with obesity is revealed, which reflects the reduced immunological reactivity of the organism.
