The global burden of metabolic disease in children and adolescents: Data from the Global Burden of Disease 2000 –2019
We read with great interest the study by Chong et al. [1], which reported the worrisome growing global burden of metabolic diseases, increasing obesity-related mortality trends, and significant sex-regional-socioeconomic differences among young adults and provided constructive advice for the prevention and treatment of these diseases. A heavy metabolic disease burden is also observed among children and adolescents owing to cultural changes, unhealthy eating habits, and decreased physical activity caused by rapid socioeconomic development [2 –5].
