Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The editorial office of International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) announces a special issue entitled “Childhood Obesity and Cardio-Metabolic Disease Risk”, and we would like to welcome your contribution to our special research collection. We are living in the era of ever-escalating national crisis of obesity and its related comorbidities including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in both adults and youth. Specifically, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, once thought to be an adult disease, have now emerging a public health threat to the pediatric populations. Unfortunately, recent clinical observations indicate that disease progression seems to be worse off in youth compared with adults. As such, multi-disciplinary approach linking basic, clinical and public health research is desperately necessitated to advance our understanding of the growing pandemic of youth-onset obesity and its related cardiometabolic disease risk (type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease). In line with this need, our special issue calls pediatric research publications focusing on a variety of research topics including: (1) Mechanistic Understanding of Childhood Obesity; (2) Consequences of Obesity in Children and Adolescence (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer); (3) Genetics of Childhood Obesity and its comorbidities; and (4) Prevention and Treatment of Pediatric Obesity.
