44 Management of metabolic risk factors Obesity gradual weight loss to reduce BMI<85 th pc lifestyle and behavioral modification for healthier dietary habits: Total fat 25-35% of calories, saturated fat<7% trans fat<1%, chilesterol<200mg/day, consume fruits, vegetables, fiber, reduce salt and sugar intake Physical inactivity <2h screen time/day, 60min moderate aerobic activity/day Glucose intolerance gradual weight loss to reduce BMI<85 th pc decrease calorie intake, physical activity Dyslipidemia Decrease low saturated and trans fat, physical activity Steinberg et al, Circulation. 2009;119: AHA Scientific statement. Progress and Challenges in Metabolic Syndrome in Children and Adolescents Expert Panel on Integrated Guidelines for Cardiovascular Health and Risk Reduction in Children and Adolescents: Summary Report. Pediatrics 2011;128;S213

45 Recommendations for pharmacological treatment may start at LDL-C >= 130 mg/dl if clustered CV risk factors If LDL >= 130 mg/dl and 2 high-level RF or 1 high-risk and 2 moderate level RF If LDL >= 160 mg/dl and 1 high-level RF or 2 moderate level RF If LDL >= 190 mg/dl Expert Panel on Integrated Guidelines for Cardiovascular Health and Risk Reduction in Children and Adolescents: Summary Report. Pediatrics 2011;128;S213

46 Conclusions The hypertensive child with metabolic risk factors represents a challenging case Lifestyle changes remain the cornerstone of the initial management as they appear to have significantly beneficial effect on both BP and metabolic abnormalities Close follow up is important and detection of TOD may emerge the need for early pharmacological therapy
