Abstract

Purpose of Review

Examine the current state of literature related to the impact of obesity in children and adolescents on health-related physical fitness and the resultant cardiometabolic disease risk.

Recent Findings

Cardiorespiratory fitness of children and adolescents has declined over the past few decades which corresponds with an increase in obesity rates. Children with obesity are more likely to have low cardiorespiratory fitness which is associated with higher cardiometabolic disease risk and poorer mental health. The impact of obesity on muscular fitness in children and adolescents is more difficult to ascertain, but in general measures of physical function are lower in children with obesity which has also been associated with higher cardiometabolic disease risk.

Summary

Components of health-related physical fitness are trending negatively in children and adolescents and appear to be related to the increase in prevalence of obesity. The resultant cardiometabolic disease risk has also risen which suggests a greater disease burden in the future. These disparaging findings highlight the need for aggressive interventions to improve physical fitness in children and adolescents.

肥胖儿童和青少年的心肺和肌肉健康

摘要

审查目的

检查有关儿童和青少年肥胖对健康相关身体素质的影响以及由此产生的心脏代谢疾病风险的文献现状。

最近的发现

在过去的几十年里，儿童和青少年的心肺健康状况有所下降，这与肥胖率的增加相对应。肥胖儿童更有可能心肺健康水平较低，这与较高的心脏代谢疾病风险和较差的心理健康状况相关。肥胖对儿童和青少年肌肉健康的影响更难以确定，但总的来说，肥胖儿童的身体机能指标较低，这也与较高的心脏代谢疾病风险相关。

概括

儿童和青少年中与健康相关的体能成分呈负趋势，并且似乎与肥胖患病率的增加有关。由此产生的心脏代谢疾病风险也有所上升，这表明未来的疾病负担会更大。这些贬低性的发现凸显了采取积极干预措施来改善儿童和青少年身体健康的必要性。
