SUMMARY:Dr. Jacqueline Chan: Emerging Trends and Treatments in Pediatric Obesity
DESCRIPTION:Emerging Trends and Treatments in Pediatric Obesity\nKey Takeaways*: \nDr. Chan noted that: \n\nIn recent years\, there has been a concerning increase in rates of pediatric obesity and obesity-related complications\, such as type 2 diabetes.\nChildren with obesity are four times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes\, and studies have shown that type 2 diabetes during childhood is more aggressive and more resistant to treatment than the adult disease.\nIn January 2023\, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released new guidance around pediatric obesity that emphasizes the importance of early treatment and intervention.\nEvidence has shown that behavior changes\, including improving diet and increasing exercise\, are not enough on their own to treat pediatric obesity and prevent obesity-related complications. As such\, the AAP recommends clinicians not delay appropriate treatment for children with obesity\, including medications or surgical interventions\, as indicated\, in combination with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.\n\n*The content presented in this webinar is the responsibility of the speakers and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health. \nDr. Jacqueline Chan \nAssistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Utah and is in Division of Pediatric Endocrinology at Primary Children´s Medical Center \n\n  \n  \n  \nSpeaker Bio’s:  \nDr. Jacqueline Chan completed her Pediatric residency at Sinai Children´s Hospital\, and her Pediatric endocrinology Fellowship at University OF Illinois Chicago/ Rush University. \nShe is certified in Pediatrics\, Pediatric Endocrinology and Obesity Medicine.
