Abstract

Background and Aims: Cardiometabolic risk accrues across the entire life course and childhood is a key epoch for effective prevention. Obesity in childhood is the most prevalent modifiable risk factor for later cardiovascular disease (CVD).

We aimed to investigate (i) innate immune cell activation in children with and without obesity ; and (ii) whether weight loss impacts the innate immune inflammatory phenotype.
