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. We found a negative association between nocturnal BP fall (dipping) and measures of insulin metabolism independently of the degree of obesity or daytime BP level among severely obese, non–diabetic adolescents without diagnosed hypertension. 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.
