Childhood obesity and elevated blood pressure in a rural population of northern Greece
Rural and Remote Health, 06/26/09

Mavrakanas TA et al. - The results confirm the high prevalence of childhood obesity in Greece, in this study found to be more prevalent in rural than urban Greece. The IOTF criteria tend to underestimate obesity and may not be optimal for use in a primary clinical care setting where the approach is for health education and patient treatment, rather than purely epidemiological. The study also confirms a strong relationship between high BP and increased BMI.
