Differences in metabolic disease markers in healthy & obese 7-to-9-year-olds identified
Obese 7-to-9-year-old children had nearly three times the liver fat and almost double the belly fat of their non-obese counterparts and insulin resistance was more than double and insulin sensitivity less than half respectively, according to a new study. The study is among the first to use a combination of advanced measurements in healthy obese and non-obese children in this age group prior to entering puberty.
