Association between nocturnal blood pressure dipping and insulin metabolism in obese adolescents
International Journal of Obesity, 09/28/09

Westerstahl M et al. – Non–dipping is common among obese adolescents.

The findings suggest the importance of keeping the insulin levels under observation even in allegedly healthy obese adolescents in clinical care, as a part of the prevention of morbidity associated with obesity.
