Abstract

 Obesity is a multifactorial chronic disease, generally preventable and affecting children and adults. The aim of this review is to briefly discuss some topics related to obese children and adolescents in acute care settings. Conclusion: Obesity causes several changes in the child's body that may affect the clinical course in a serious illness situation, however many associations are still unclear and further studies are necessary.

Keywords: Obesity; Obese; Children; Acute; Care
