Neighbourhood socioeconomic circumstances, adiposity and cardiometabolic risk measures in children with severe obesity

ConclusionsThe present data suggest that neighbourhood-related issues are associated with less severe adiposity among children with established obesity. Concerning cardiometabolic risk factors, shopping facilities were related to dyslipidemia and fatty liver. These findings suggest that increased awareness and efforts are needed to diminish socioeconomic inequalities between neighbourhoods.
