Nutrient Deficiencies in Obese Children and Adolescents
Obesity in children and adolescents can lead to multiple nutrient deficiencies, creating a double burden on their health. The diagnosis involves understanding local nutritional issues, clinical assessments, dietary recalls, and biological evaluations. Common deficiencies include vitamins A, D, E, folate, iron, zinc, and selenium. Pitfalls in diagnosis include inflammatory effects on proteins and the need to consider fat-soluble vitamin status. Nutritional deficiencies in obese individuals can compound the risks of cardiovascular issues, insulin resistance, and liver damage.
