Eur J Pediatr 2024:10.1007/s00431-024-05641-0. [PMID: 38871979 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-024-05641-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
The role of obesity as risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been well-recognized. As previously demonstrated in adults, emerging data highlighted the relevant impact of obesity on renal function since childhood. As a matter of fact, obesity also affects renal health through a complex pathogenic mechanism in which insulin resistance (IR) plays a pivotal role. Worthy of note, the vicious interplay among obesity, IR, and renal hemodynamics clinically translates into a plethora of kidney function impairments potentially leading to CKD development. Therefore, renal injury needs to be added to the well-known spectrum of cardiometabolic obesity comorbidities (e.g., type 2 diabetes, IR, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease). CONCLUSION Taking this into account, a careful and timely monitoring of kidney function should not be neglected in the global assessment of children with obesity. We aimed to provide a comprehensive overview on the relevance of kidney evaluation in children with obesity by shedding lights on the intriguing relationship of obesity with renal health in this at-risk population. WHAT IS KNOWN • Obesity has been found to be a risk factor for chronic kidney disease. • Unlike adults, pediatric data supporting the association between obesity and renal function are still limited. WHAT IS NEW • As observed in adults, obesity might affect renal function since childhood. • Kidney function should be carefully evaluated in children with obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of obesity and the diversity of available treatments makes the development of a national obesity registry desirable. To do this, it is essential to design a minimal dataset to meet the needs of a registry. This review aims to identify the essential elements of a successful obesity registry. METHODS We conducted a systematic literature review adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis recommendations. Google Scholar, Scopus and PubMed databases and Google sites were searched to identify articles containing obesity or overweight registries or datasets of obesity. We included English articles up to January 2023. RESULTS A total of 82 articles were identified. Data collection of all registries was carried out via a web-based system. According to the included datasets, the important features were as follows: demographics, anthropometrics, medical history, lifestyle assessment, nutritional assessment, weight history, clinical information, medication history, family medical history, prenatal history, quality-of-life assessment and eating disorders. CONCLUSIONS In this study, the essential features in the obesity registry dataset were demographics, anthropometrics, medical history, lifestyle assessment, nutritional assessment, weight history and clinical analysis items.

A Gender-, Age-, and Weight Status-Specific Analysis of the High Prevalence of Hyperuricemia Among Chinese Children and Adolescents with Obesity. Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2024; 17:381-391. [PMID: 38283639 PMCID: PMC10821731 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s448638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To explore the gender-, age-, and weight status-specific prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) and its associated risk factors among Chinese children and adolescents with obesity. Methods A total of 1329 children aged 2-17 years, who were diagnosed with obesity and hospitalized in our center from January 2016 to December 2022 were recruited. They were divided into mild obesity, moderate obesity, and severe obesity groups. HUA was defined as fasting serum uric acid level >420 μmol/L for boys and >360 μmol/L for girls. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for HUA. Results The highest proportion of hospitalized obese children was aged 10-13 years comprising 677 (50.9%) followed by those aged 6-9 years comprising 348 (26.2%) whereas the least proportion was aged 2-5 years comprising 76 (5.7%). The above differences in age distribution were still present in subgroup analyses according to weight status. Most hospitalized obese children were boys (64.7%), especially in the severe obesity group (75.0%). The overall estimated prevalence of HUA in obese children was 54.8%. It presented a gradual increase trend over the last 7 years, with more rapidly in boys than in girls. Subgroup analysis by weight status showed that the prevalence of HUA was higher in children with moderate obesity (64.3%) and severe obesity (64.2%) when compared with mild obesity (48.2%) (P all<0.01). Boys reached a relatively high HUA incidence level (≥60%) at age 12, which occurred about 2 years later than in girls (age 10). With 12 years as the cut-off point, a high prevalence of HUA (≥60%) was observed in both genders. Multivariable logistic regression analyses showed that boy (OR=2.844, 95% CI 2.024-3.998), age (OR=1.253, 95% CI 1.155-1.360), BMI-Z score (OR=2.132, 95% CI 1.438-3.162), fasting blood glucose (OR=0.907, 95% CI 0.860-0.956), phosphorus (OR=4.123, 95% CI 2.349-7.239), alkaline phosphatase (OR=1.002, 95% CI 1.001-1.004), creatinine (OR=1.067, 95% CI 1.037-1.098), urea nitrogen (OR=1.193, 95% CI 1.032-1.378), aspartate aminotransferase (OR=1.016, 95% CI 1.002-1.030), triglycerides (OR=1.339, 95% CI 1.075-1.667), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR=0.381, 95% CI 0.160-0.910) were independently associated with odds of HUA (P all<0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of HUA in Chinese obese children and adolescents is unexpectedly high. Childhood HUA was significantly associated with obesity. Gender and age differences were observed in the association between childhood obesity and HUA. Obese children aged ≥12 years should be focused on screening the risk of HUA.

An IMI-SOPHIA study on pediatric individuals living with overweight and obesity. Obesity (Silver Spring) 2023; 31:2375-2385. [PMID: 37545199 DOI: 10.1002/oby.23844] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The first-line approach for childhood obesity is lifestyle intervention (LI); however, success varies. This study aimed first to identify distinct subgroups of response in children living with overweight and obesity and second to elucidate predictors for subclusters. METHODS Based on the obesity patient follow-up registry the APV (Adipositas-Patienten-Verlaufsdokumentation) initiative, a total of 12,453 children and adolescents (median age: 11.5 [IQR: 9.7-13.2] years; BMI z score [BMIz]: 2.06 [IQR: 1.79-2.34]; 52.6% girls) living with overweight/obesity and participating in outpatient LI were studied. Longitudinal k-means clustering was used to identify individual BMIz response curve for up to 2 years after treatment initiation. Multinomial logistic regression was used to elucidate predictors for cluster membership. RESULTS A total of 36.3% of children and adolescents experienced "no BMIz loss." The largest subcluster (44.8%) achieved "moderate BMIz loss," with an average delta-BMIz of -0.23 (IQR: -0.33 to -0.14) at study end. A total of 18.9% had a "pronounced BMIz loss" up to -0.61 (IQR: -0.76 to -0.49). Younger age and lower BMIz at LI initiation, larger initial BMIz loss, and less social deprivation were linked with higher likelihood for moderate or pronounced BMIz loss compared with the no BMIz loss cluster (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These results support the importance of patient-tailored intervention and earlier treatment escalation in high-risk individuals who have little chance of success.

Combining body mass index and waist height ratio to assess the relationship between obesity and serum uric acid levels in adolescents. Front Pediatr 2023; 11:1176897. [PMID: 37274813 PMCID: PMC10232991 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2023.1176897] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The study aims to explore the relationship between obesity and serum uric acid in adolescents by combining body mass index and waist height ratio. Methods 475 adolescents in our study were classified as normal weight without central obesity (NW), normal weight but central obesity (NWCO), overweight or obesity without central obesity (OB) and overweight or obesity with central obesity (OBCO). Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for hyperuricemia were calculated using a logistic regression model. The dose-response association between obesity indicators and serum uric acid were explored by restricted cubic spline model. Results The highest serum uric acid level and the OR for hyperuricemia were found in the OBCO group, regardless of sex. After controlling for waist height ratio, the risk of hyperuricemia increased with increasing body mass index in boys and girls. The restricted cubic spline model showed that boys had higher ORs for hyperuricemia at the 25th and 75th percentiles of body mass index than for waist height ratio and girls had a higher OR for hyperuricemia than waist height ratio at the 25th percentile of body mass index. Conclusions Hyperuricemia in adolescence was not only associated with the overweight or obesity in BMI, but with the combination of overweight or obesity in BMI and central obesity in WHtR. However, in boys and girls, the increased risk of hyperuricemia associated with elevated body mass index was significantly better than that of waist height ratio.
